Same Old Down Day

I don’t know if I should be happy or upset… My non retirement portfolio declined 0.67% today, while the DOW was -1.34%, NASDAQ -2.33% and the S&P 500 -1.53%. I’m out performing the market, but in a negative way. I’m not satisfied with this result. I simply hate losing any amount of $$$. I picked up a few shares of Fidelity National Information Services (Ticker: FIS) today as special situations play. A deal is brewing with several private equity players eyeing the company. We should hear very soon if a deal is inked.
