Feels like the sky is falling. CLF has not been a wise short term investment, but we try to be long term thinkers, and their dividend compensates a bit. On the bright side, a few stocks that have done well lately for some of us:

NEE (Paul and I)
COR (discussed plenty. Paul and EKS closed positions. I recently sold some more that went LT, and have more that I bought in sept/oct that I have to wait a few months on).
STAG & CDR (EKS almost joined me on these)
SRE (with EKS and Paul)
ADM (I think that a few of us are holding. I have a small amount.)

I am still pretty skittish, owning mainly pref and other high dividend stocks. It has saved my bacon -- still up 9.3% YTD, to the NYSE up 2.1%

cash	2.7%
pref stocks	55.5%
utilities	9.7%
reits	29.2%
other stocks	2.9%
	100.0%
