That's my approach. I got my quarterly statement in the mail yesterday. Looks like the market must have gone up over the past three months. Not sure what to do with this information since it's not like I'm going to change anything.
I understand where you’re coming from, but there isn’t a incongruity. Individual stock investments are a relatively small part of my overall portfolio.
