With the markets just bouncing around -- up one day down the next -- so sectors decidedly in the red ----- I would urge you to go back to basics when you're "concerned" about your holdings.... in other words -- pull up those longer term charts and look at them. There's MANY ups and downs - big and small.... but do you see the line that generally is going up over time. That's the line that's important! In the meantime - if you're collecting dividends... then stop worrying. Remember when I reminded everyone to remember when their stocks were going up every day? Now's when you need to remember that.
If you were in real estate 10 years ago you couldn't believe how much your stuff was going up! Then '08 hits and your holdings were worth half what they were... 5 years later - they've doubled or more.... Don't you wish you'd have bought some stuff when it was HALF what it is today?? Yeah ---- that's what I thought..... LOL
