Up 7.31%
Does anyone invest in long and short term bonds? I've never put money into them but they are the only thing showing a positive return. All the small to large cap stocks and multi assets are down. Last edited by G Langa; 08-22-2009 at 12:43 PM. |

+25.7% YTD.
This rally is bogus though. We're in for a roller coaster once the market accepts the fact that the recovery will be slow and painful. Most of the earnings good news is coming from cost cutting, not real revenue. |

I'm only $300 dollars away from being at my original IRA opening balance.
I was down $600. My 401K is doing better since I made some safer allocations. |

20% now. Haven't decided what I'll do about moving some of it out of stocks and into something more conservative. Supposedly this is going to be a double bottom recession.

My workplace was quite odd -- they wouldn't let me put into my 401k until I was 21. I hit 21 in February after the market had already mostly tanked. I'm up 31% this year. Woo!
My wife lost a bunch but has it all back and them by now. We're lookin good! The ****ty thing, my work isn't contributing this year. |

-8.68% Good thing Im only 24 and my company matches 100% of my contribution, kinda counter balances the loss (btw this number is based on 01/01/09003/31/09 what I had sitting on my desk)

Well, I'm above where I was in 2007 at this point. Granted I've contributed 10% of my income over that time, but as of 12/31/2009 the 1 year rate of return was 44.93%.
The market upturn has definitely put back a lot of dough. I've almost doubled the money in the account since the beginning of the year, though a third of that uptick is my contributions. |

I'm in the same boat. A few weeks ago I finally passed my high point from August of 2007. I was when I thought about it... 2 years and 5 months of putting 11% of my paycheck into the account....and I finally have what I used to have. At least it's still going up....for now. |

2008: -45.00%
2009: +36.65% My percentage loss was pretty big in 2008 but that was my first year of serious contributions so I actually ended up with more money in Dec 08 than I had in Jan 08. |

36% return sounds great, until you see that it's a 36% return on a greatly reduced value. After a 45% loss, you'd have to have a 180+% return on what you had left to equal what you started with. Tell your banana he can stop dancing. |
