roni, yeah, it took me awhile to get used to this different style of investing and I still feel at times as if I've gone bipolar or 7 faces of Eve because of it, but now after a few years, I'm getting used to it. I don't feel anxious if I don't look at my PFs for few days and I'm spending a LOT less on commissions the last few years... I still trade in the energy sector, but it represents a fraction of my overall investments. The main difference between the two of us is that my DGI PFs have to replace a lot of income, whereas you have several streams of guaranteed retirement income... my wife has her teacher's retirement (35+ years), but I only have SS and my DGI PFs... the iWife also has a 403b, but I don't manage that (and I'm not sure she even looks at it). Best, Jim
