   You need a better investment advisor. I'm about even from where my   
   accounts were at the start of the pandemic and that includes nearly   
   three years of RMDs. I took advantage of some of the market corrections   
   and bought more of what I already owned. But I do have some "stinkers"   
   like 3M, T, and V. But they all pay decent dividends.
