YTD, still showing about 11% up and just over 7% from 1 year ago.

7% is really good Ron.  The average index investor has to be sitting really close to even the past 12MO, and maybe down a little.  I really think our attraction to dividend stocks is going to help us when the market is rough.  There is just no other place to get a safe yield and beat inflation.  Bond funds are likely to take a hit at the first sign of good news.

I was a little surprised at the YOY number as the YOD is the default on the fidelity site. Dividend yield is   in the high 3s which helps, but I am not sure what stocks carried the rest of the 7% load. I could probably go through and figure it out, but they are most likely the ones falling the fastest now LOL.

Yes, back when I was more aggressively invested I was definitely a "jeanyus" one month and a fool the next.  I really want to add a few more aggressive growth stocks but I am going to continue to be patient.  It's breath taking how fast you can give up a years gains if you aren't careful with your entry price.
