You guys don't even want to know what my gain was today in DOLLAR terms....
HAHAHAHAHA



The take-away for investing 102 --- you just never can afford to be out of the market -- or trying to "game" the market. Your biggest gains will be made on very few days during the entire year... and if you happen to be out on those days -- you can't catch up.

This is what I've learned over the years doing this -- just stick to your good companies --- invest regularly -- and don't be in and out. Sometimes that SUCKS.... but long term you'll be way way ahead and that is the goal.


Note too -- McDonalds gave us a 5% raise on the dividend today.
