The past week or to for me has just been a "aw, its bout time" sorta thing. I have no new cash to put to work right now, as I just finished my emergency fund. This year its back to investing for retirement (last year was purchase a house and rebuild emergency fund, but i already had my div stocks from an early 2013 ROTH purchase). So i got to watch my purchases and my Feb 2013 restructure of my 401k "ride the wave".

I feel tho, its just "part of the market". If i had money to put to work, i'd be looking at it a little different. But for now, i'm just holding tight.

On a side note, I keep a spreadsheet that automatically calculates the current +/- of my stocks, PLUS a separate column that automatically tracks my TOTAL RETURN. Thus, when I see stock XYZ down 3% today, I look a column over and see I'm still up 35% total return. So then its just a "sweet, maybe my next div check for that stock will purchase a few cents worth of more shares than last time." lol
