Not lately. Probably around -40%. -- nm - Tauruschach Mar 2, 10:13
ROTH down 10% last year before I sold everything, CALPERS probably lost a lot, but my pension statement looks good -- nm - ceregon Mar 2, 10:10

- yeah, because i'm so long term, i am just leaving the stuff that's plummeted in the higher-risk funds, figuring it'll go back up in 20-30 years. - kare Mar 2, 10:09 1
  - If it doesn't go back up over the next 20-40 years then I figure I've got much bigger problems to worry about than my retirement account. -- nm - Endermandias Mar 2, 10:19
it's pretty sad. down probably 20% overall. putting 70% of new contributions into bonds now. - kare Mar 2, 10:07 1
- i would have been worse off, but i got a loan in dec. 07 and took out a huge sum then - kare Mar 2, 10:10
Moving sideways.....put most of it in money market / bond funds after losin 30% in 4th qtr 08. - Will Hunting Mar 2, 10:07
I know it's lost plenty, but I just look at it as I'm dollar cost averaging at this point. -- nm - Dano Mar 2, 10:06

I began contributing in November, and last I checked it was up about 5 percent -- nm - con_carne Mar 2, 10:05 1
- Of course, last I checked was about a month ago :) -- nm - con_carne Mar 2, 10:11
No...I have not looked...nothing I can do but remind myself that while it is dropping, that only means each paycheck buys more shares now than before - The Rememer the Alamo Coalition Mar 2, 10:04 3
- That's the spirit, think of all you could make if it dropped to zero! -- nm - Loyola Mar 2, 10:07 2
  - I buy INFINITY shares! -- nm - Dano Mar 2, 10:13
  - It's only a loss if I move it now...odds are in the next 25 years, it will go up -- nm - The Rememer the Alamo Coalition Mar 2, 10:09
