Ugh ! What a day. And yet my PF is down only .1% (point 1%), if I can ignore cash values ! - I see what you mean about how thinking in terms of "SPY dollars" (if I can put it that way) really helps you stay calm. I did that trade. I bought 140 shares of IWD Congratulations on getting IWD near a 4-month low. It's one thing to plan a future buy, a lot tougher to actually pull the trigger, especially on a day like today. As a diversification it was a terrible trade I just looked at a 5-year IWD:$SPX comparison StockChart. IWD outperforms $SPX by a little over 30%. This implies outperforming the S&P500 by 26% - So with a 5-year time horizon.. (g) Intermediate targets are set initially at 8% intervals on the upside. - Very reachable. BTW, thanks for sharing a specific trade, very helpful in understanding. - Sorry to be so long-winded but just one last thing, a request actually. I think charts would add to our discussion. For example, I would have added the IWD:$SPX StockChart to this post but I don't know how. Can you help me with that?
