    Crappy last 2 weeks. Down 900k from absolute peak of 5.5 million. Oh well stocks can't go up forever. Looking forward to the recovery.

      80/20 portfolio is down recently, but still up for the year by 2.6%.

        I'm up $15k for the year. Pretty flat so far. We'll see what the rest of the year brings.

          How has this latest correction treated you? Growth stocks are taking a beating with the inflation data.

            I picked up some MMM today. I figure buy quality and you'll be fine in the long run.

              I haven't checked yet. Maybe I'll look tonight.

                I think inflation is going to force the fed to cut with the QE bit and let market forces take over, as they should. When you are manipulating markets, you're just feeding the monster, hoping he's happy with what you're handing him instead of eating you. Problem is, we are out of food to feed him.

                  Last update was 4/24/21. As of today, we're down $35,719.39 from then. Still up over $110,000 YTD (which includes new money).

                    I rebalance to my asset allocation every quarter so don’t really notice the day to day gyrations. I judge my success each year on dollars saved, not market performance.

                      How's life scallywag? Must be down big. I lost almost $100k today. Sigh. And I own CCIV, TSLA, and pltr. I bought CCIV though at 19 and Pltr at 27, 23, and 20 and TSLA I've held for over a year. So I'm in the red by a little for CCIV and Pltr but I'm bleeding at FVRR

                        Down about $170k thus far this week. Still up about 8.2% for the year (roughly 78/19/3 asset allocation).

                          I haven't really looked.
                          I imagine I'm down pretty big though

                            How old are you?

                            Focusing on saving as much as you can early on is certainly the way to go, but results matter too. You don't want to be pouring money into a portfolio that keeps losing value or underperforms the market consistently.

                              You can always save 15% or more on your car insurance by switching to GEICO.

                                The last time I shopped our car insurance, Progressive was cheaper so I went with Flo instead of the gecko.
