I am going to try ignore your trades for awhile.  I do enjoy your company here.  It's just the randomness of your moves and the short term creative rationalization.  At the moment you are not "investing" by most anyone's definition, and it's hard to watch daily, but it's not hurting me.

I just pulled up VZ T and JNJ on Portfolio Visualizer with a chart from 2010.  VZ has actually been a reasonable retirement type investment with CAGR over 10%.  Of course T is a complete dumpster fire with a CAGR just over 5% and heading lower by the day.  If you remove the last six months VZ has actually matched JNJ in return.  It's just a case of what have you done for me this year VZ?

vz is one of my oldest investments--i'll have to look up what it's done for me...
