Cannew, since you mentioned it, I had to go back and check. Since the end of December, I'm up 2.9% despite a bunch of red in the gain column of my spreadsheet. 
Holy crap! I guess that's what happens when companies keep pi$$ing dividends into the pot since I haven't been able to contribute much this year so far.
A few years ago, I would've panicked just from the headlines. Now it's just adjust around the edges and read some 10-Q/K's. I must admit, I am getting a little edgy because I keep dreaming about all the extra shares I'll be getting as the prices drop.

“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
