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.
