My unrealized capital gains are down about $10,000 from where they were two weeks ago. However, yesterday I had a (previously scheduled) video meeting with my financial advisor, who assured me this was no cause for immediate concern. I’m in it for the long haul at this point, so hopefully things will pick up before I need the money. ---
