DGI For The DIY

That's exactly the attitude to have. Nobody likes to watch the capital evaporate on paper but it's part of the game. As long as you have new money to invest the downturns work out VERY WELL over time. I'm getting closer to retirement so my timing matters some on new purchases. You'll understand when you are a few years out. I sold a lot of puts this fall so I am gradually rolling into a lot of long positions with the downturn. It saved me from being down much worse. I'll be bugging you for that DIV tracker spreadsheet sometime soon. It looks pretty slick and I'll like to track my income growth as well. It would be nice to have something positive to track while we wait for Mr Market.
