Since the end of December 2014, the value of my portfolio has dropped 15% (haven't checked the Mkt Val since March). Not many years ago I would be in a panic, but no longer. I've bought shares and during that period, talked my sister into getting rid of all her funds & CD's. I set up a portfolio of DG stocks for her and instead of the 1.8% income she's now getting 4.38% (and it's even grown a bit).
As for my portfolio what I have monitored is the dividend growth for the year, which is up 14.6% over the 7 months compared to last year.
