RMCF - Down from 6.16 to 6.00 -2.6 percent
AFL - Up from 50.55 to 56.53 +11.8 percent
The Rain Man stock recommendations are up 5.8 percent.
S&P 500 - Up from 3940.59 to 4188.43, or 6.3 percent.
Nasdaq - Up from 147.12 to 163.53, or 11.2 percent.
So the verdict is in. Don't listen to me.
On the other hand, AMC is down 22.1 percent and GME is down 26.4 percent in that period, so I've got that going for me.

I've had KO for a long time now, and it's always been one of my favorites. The dividends are nice and it's always been a steady stock that I add to every quarter. My goal is to own enough that I can gain at least 5 shares per quarter with the dividend reinvestment. I can't stand the taste of Pepsi, so I doubt I'd ever buy the stock. I'll have a Coke every once in a while, so I do my part keeping the share price up.
Side note, I was hungry and started digging through my pantry one day. We had at least a dozen different spices, 3 tins of pepper, and more unopened jars of jelly than I could remember buying. I wondered why we would need all those spices and jelly, so I decided to look up their parent company. Turns out, making jelly and pepper is actually a pretty lucrative business. Mccormick (MKC) and Smuckers (SJM) were both pretty stable and pay nice dividends, so I added them to my portfolio.
