That's exactly the attitude to have.
Case in point, my shares in OXY. It's an oil stock so it's down. I unfortunately bought at a record high a couple years ago so I'm perpetually down for now. However, I go into my cost basis where it lists all transactions, and I just sit back and look at all the free money I was given for being invested with them. It's not a lot but it adds up. It has really helped soften the current down trend.
