My little homemade 401k is up 40% in one year. My Bank of America has almost doubled since I bought it. Wish i'd bought more but hindsight is always 20/20!

I'd be up more --- but I SPEND my dividends and bond income..... so they don't get rolled back into more shares.

Excellent....The number one problem in marraiges is MONEY....So talking with your Wife about your plans for the future is critical..

Laying out 1 year, 5 year, and 10 year goals really keeps the bond tight between a Man and his Wife...

I have friends who won't talk about their financial futures with their spouses and they are always fighting...

Good Job Jose...

It's really fun watching the recent stratospheric rise of the market from the perspective of a 102 reader. Most of my previous "shoulda/coulda/woulda" day-trading anxiety is gone, and I feel much more secure knowing that the path I am choosing is the right way to proceed for long-term gains.

Actually, while most of the country is rooting for the market to keep rising, I'm ready for a correction because it's hurting my dollar-cost-averaging.

A good read this morning... shows some "numbers" on the whole timing the market question..

Obviously, buying during a crash is GREAT. but just getting in whenever you can for us long term holders, will still be great. Looks like about a 1% difference in "timing it" which isnt that big in the long run. and you may have never bought until weeks/months later when you finally gave in, and lost even more money..

Ok, here's my yearly update. I only included the stocks I bought last year. The ones I purchased at the beginning of this year are doing fine but nothing worth mentioning since it's only been a couple months.

I did my calculations by hand because either Vanguard doesn't offer me that ability or I'm just not utilizing the website fully. All the same, in order to separate everything out to see how my money is being earned I did the following math.

For dividend gains, I simply divided the difference between my initial investment and total cost by the initial investment. Total cost being the sum of my initial investment plus any dividends earned since I reinvest them.

For capital gains, I divided the difference between current value and total cost by total cost.

For overall gains, I divided the difference between current value and initial investment by the initial investment.

Without further ado, here are the results from my first year.

KO Div 3.79% Cap 23.15% Total 27.8%
KMP Div 6.49% Cap 9.94% Total 17.1%
OXY Div 2.25% Cap -7.73% Total -5.65%
SO Div 4.44% Cap 3.85% Total 8.4%
WFM Div 3.38% Cap 23.3% Total 27.5%

Averages Div 4.07% Cap 10.5% Total 15.03%

I'm happy I'm also pleased to see my OXY starting to climb back towards the surface. My Fidelity managed 401k has an 11% IRR and that doesn't include the company match which is fantastically free money. My Vanguard managed mutual fund I'm honestly not sure on but it's going up. So yeah, I'm happy and dividend investing is clearly working for me. MY ESPP is flat out amazing right now too.
