RE:RE:RE:BSW Clearly you're diversified w/ divi'sGM, good diversification bucket. I did have BCE for years but you will enjoy this I switched these funds a few years back to GWO and MFC as I felt no one screws you more than insurance companies so if you can't beat them buy them LOL.
I agree don't care about the up and downs on my core dividends holdings...just take the money and flow it to energy.
Energy is the fun stuff...I will admit this board keeps me active (although I also have a good diversification in Mid/SmallCap) never all eggs in one basket.
Good luck with your investments

Energy has kept my overall portfolio growing this year despite the 5-10% losses you mention on the boring stuff. And I don't care about SP on the boring stocks - it will drive my retirement income starting next year so the drops right now just mean I can DRIP more shares in the meantime. I'm all for a 12 month market correction to help boost the income. We'll bask in the profits and soon to be growing dividends from the energy stocks. Just gravy at this point.
