My portfolio (containing many of those same stocks) is down over $20,000 in unrealized loss. And yet my dividend payout is up from about $12,000 annual to well over $14,000. Since I'm not planning on selling any--I'm money ahead. The "loss" for me--and indeed all of us-- only exists as an academic discussion.
