Keep telling yourself that and don't forget to blame a street in New York for your financial problems. I just checked my 401k and it is up 4.3% this year already. Last year it was up 15.8%. Sucks to be me. do the math. how much do you have to GAIN to make up for a 35% LOSS like the average 401K lost in 2009? if you cant figure it out, i'll let you know and your 20% increase? i'll give you a hint: it's not enough Look up dollar cost averaging. Many people, including me, made some outstanding buys when the market went to hell. look up how long it takes to recover from a 35% drop in an equity. you cant do the math, obviously. |
