I'm mainly worried about ERX right now.
Still up 75% YTD. How long have you owned it?

Since April 29th. I'm down 3.09% overall.
PS: Now you made me look. Wow, yesterday was bad indeed. Heh, not near my ATH anymore!

You ever notice this forum is a really bad place to hide from the stock market?

Ignore the market while on vacation. That's what I did when we were in Cancun for 10 days last month. Never turned on the TV to check the market or checked my account balances on my phone. Don't ruin a relaxing/fun vacation with needless worry about the market. It will still be here when you get back.

That is good advice I try to follow. Until a few years ago CELL phones didn't work where I stay in the Northwoods. Now I just check the market about a day before I come home. Buy a few shares if something is on a big sale and enjoy the ride home. 95% of my port doesn't require I watch it at all.
I suspect my port will do better if I
don't watch it anyway

It very likely will if it prevents you from selling low.
Not a bad day. I like it when I beat the market. Not quite back to a port ATH but I am fighting the good fight. Some fo the big boys have reported now. The market should show a little direction tomorrow as far as tech is concerned. At least for a little while.
