concerned investor

i held in there on 911 and lost 100k market bounced back a little. during the big stockdrop in august 2008 i sold most of my portfolio keeping only blue chip co. jnj, xom, pg, exc, cop.value droped only 30k you cant make any money on bank cds, only have 50k left to reinvest right now cause bank cds mature in 6 months. i see no signs of the economy getting better right now, other than bargain shoping the market should not be going up. unless the boys on wall street are sick of just sitting around doing nothing.there is no consumer confidence. when someone farts in china the market goes down. looking to get my nest egg back. think i will stay with high div paying stocks the ones i love are etp,dpm,cqp,ksp,osp.. all in the energy sectori am not diversified cause i dont see anything moving other than energy...just sounding off ty
