I bet I own some of that power company stock (DUK?). I was just telling a coworker today why are people selling a utility company, could there be an industry less affected by a pandemic in China that might spread here? Maybe I should buy more.
I’ve been putting off investing much of my 2019 Roth contribution and I am now really glad about that, but will need to swallow hard before getting that done before April 15. I also closed out an International stock fund last fall to pay off what was left of my mortgage.
So those two things give me some comfort dealing with the carnage this week and tens of thousands of dollars paper losses I’ve had. But I’ll hang tight and things will recover some day. I focus on companies that pay decent dividends so if nothing else, I’m getting paid while I wait!
