You're more than welcome Albert! I'm so happy this is working out well for you.
Correct data - and correct thinking are CRITICAL Albert. Good for you for doing the work on the spread sheet.
The thing with stocks - versus other types of assets such as housing etc... is that we tend to look at them all the time. It's like a moth to a flame... we like to see our investments all going green all the time. Of course - it doesn't work like that. But really understanding where you're at is key.
I've said it here many times -- if you're UP 30% over a two year period -- and suddenly the market "tanks" and goes down hard (10%)... you must put that in perspective. You can't open your account and go HOLY CRAP! I'm down 10K! When in fact --- you might be up 40 over all.
