If you remember - I recently posted about the "value" shown in an account (mine) vs it's intended purpose (dividend cash flow) and that --- here's the important part --- at some point a loser would become a winner (green) and a winner might suddenly be a loser (red)...
Today my FORD (F) stock is up .80 per share --- and with 20,000 shares --- that becomes a decent move. It was in the RED - but with it's 16K move today - went from loser to gainer. That holding is (today) in the green by 5K.
My point? I can't go around worrying about which name is red vs green day to day... they'll change - they are fluid - they all PAY ME regardless of their current green or red status. I just don't use that metric to stew over. I stew over the general economy - how that might affect ME long term.... I stew more over having MISSED a good opportunity because I was "afraid".... (as in - I should have bought a lot more property investments when they were giving them away).
