Month end recap: A nice rebound there for a while, but it didn't last. Ended up .9 for the month. Still ahead of the Dow and SPX. Trailing the Naz Composite by .5%. Dividend investing is about bouncing principle + rising income. Reinvesting dividends keeps the income growing regardless of what the principle is doing, following the market around. No one said it would be easy to watch the principle bounce around. For 2007 / Principle -11.8% Income +15.76% To end of August 2008 / Principle -11.0% Income +18.68% ___________________________________________________________ I sure wish there was a better way since this loads so slow and always seems to have some sort of problem. Taxable: This time it will not currently add cash, so the cash is off by $858 si.advfn.com IRA: Also can not update cash which is currently $912 short. si.advfn.com Taxable account: To end of August -11.75% 12/31/07 portfolio = $236,197 07/31/08 Current = $208,440 IRA account: To end of August = -9.63% 12/31/07 portfolio = $127,724 07/31/08 Current = $115,424 Total: 12/31/07 total $363,921 07/31/08 total $323,864 Taken together for 2008 -11.0% !COMP,-10.5% !DJ30,-13% !SPX,-12.5%
