Thanks dabum. I've been too busy trading in my taxable account to pay much attention to my IRA. It is supposed to mostly just chug along right?

I did find it interesting to check mid month when the averages were back to even for the year. Not adding any money makes it easier to figure out how I am doing against the averages.

Have to admit I haven't been keeping up with dividend raises. I'll have to catch up sometime later.

Did notice my income is up 3.88% since end of 2010. Thought Ameritrade hadn't caught up with the CIM cut, but see that it is accurate on the statement, so I take it as right.

I consider this my single best long term buy with incoming dividends this year:

01/26/2011 09:58:44 Bought 100 ESP @ 19.5 -1,959.95 ---

I expect to get a $1 special in December, making their div. for the year 9%+ again, something that doesn't show up in estimated income on my statement. My current yield on cost ( avg. price 19.16. ) without the special is 4.69%. With the special 9.9%
