Down $200,000 in stock market! Glad I have $10,500 RE Cash Flow!

This has been a brutal 30 days, as my stock market accounts are down over $200,000. I do have the dividends still coming in many of my stocks, but I am thankful I have worked for many years to establish stability in real estate where outside influences do not make me crumble! I can at lease control my RE purchases and holdings, whereas the stock market is so fickle and ever wavering with every bad earnings report, Fed whisper, and now Corona virus. I do not know whether this virus is over rated, or as serious as many say, but I have solid cash flow from my many doors. Some say, what if things get so bad the world falls apart, then I say what difference does any of it really make anyway? At the end of day, I can better control my RE, but have NO control over the stock market. I still believe in diversity, but this market solidifies my love for RE !!
