I'll throw in my two cents. And that is exactly what it is worth.

I have no doubt the market will correct at some point. That is what the market does. When and how far would be my questions. I don't think anywhere near the lows of last year are in the cards, but then we all know what opinions are like. :)

No doubt that Paul will be correct with how people feel.

I've gone off margin because I believe I have taken the biggest piece out of the middle. Maybe I'm wrong and the market just marches on for months. That would be ok, as I have my piece, and the gain is no longer worth the sweat to me. I don't want to pay attention every day.

I'm not going to enjoy watching my principle shrink any more than anyone else. On the other hand, my requirement of at least 3.5% yield has pushed some companies I would like to own below the line.

I think I am as comfortable as I can get with "bouncing principle". My two biggest problems are that the money only comes in so fast, and when it does it burns a hole in my pocket. Make it three, don't cut my dividend.

Also, in looking back I see that I have round lot syndrome. <gg> I seem to find 100 shares that fit my cash instead of buying what I can afford of what I want. I think I have fixed that. My TCLP purchase in my IRA was 35 shares. I'll fill it out. Maybe on the next correction. (:0
