Could someone please pass on the memo to Mr. Market about being in a correction. 
I finally decided I'd check out why nothing's panicked me over the last 2 months. Sure some of my holdings have gone down considerably but not much I'm looking to add is at bargain prices. I finally downloaded my November 2015 and December 2015 statements and calculated the 2 month and 1 month loss and all I could account for was -1.6% since November 30th and -0.9% since December 30th. This is frustrating and explains why so few of my GTC orders to backfill the smaller holdings have traded.
I guess I'll go figure what I can wait on and get in my limit order for GILD in the meantime. Sheesh!

“While the dividend itself is merely a rearrangement of equity, over time it's more like owning an apple tree. The tree grows the apples back again and again and again, and the theoretical value of the tree doesn't change just because of when the apples are about to fall.” - earthtodan
