Tru,
If you have stayed even for the year then you can almost feel as if you came out ahead. I don't have a lot of stock any more as I got rid of most of mine years ago, but on my last monthly report, I have lost about $2K this year so far. What stock I kept was more or less the safe kind if there is such a thing and it just bounces back and forth from month to month. Nice thing is I have drawn almost 12 times as much in dividends over the years as I ever spent on the stock.
