Currently down about 18% since biden was elected. I am sure it's going to decline even more after last night.

 

[sscamaro2485]

Mine was down about 20%. Couldn't sit there and watch it continue to drop. Lost 5K in September alone. Cashed out and bought some property to retire to in a few years. Figure i can make more off renting the place until I retire. Doesn't look promising for the future after the election yesterday. Glad I made that decision.

[sstk100]

Have investment accounts for decades....

Went to cash before Jan 2022, so down about 1.7% for last 12 months. On the sidelines not holding stocks, Now portfolio is only about 2% in stocks. Have moved about 20% to I bonds, treasury bills, some corp. bonds, and laddered CD's.(can get 4%+ now) and that will rise with the inflation/interest rates probably.
Playing the dividend game currently. Daily buys and sells on or about ex-dividend dates.Making some money there.

Worst case scenario.for the next few months......
The inflation, and recession at the rates it's happening now, plus the political environment, may well mean 24-30 months more recession ...stocks may continue to fall. (historically that may indicate the pattern)
IMHO

Looked at one of mine today. It down 8.85% for the year. Haven't had the guts to look at the other one in awhile.

 

[mrdragster1970]

Down just shy of 30% I was up huge during Trumps time in office.

Exactly.
I don't have any retirement, but my friends that do are way down from all the gains they made under PRESIDENT Trump.
I mean down real money $100,000-200,000 plus!!!

My ETF's are down, but my InIRA move away from FAANG and went into oil, and went up for a change while the market crashed.

My own trading, I sucked. Kindred Morgan has treated me well, as my inherited DUK stock which when back down to normal levels, but the dividend checks keep coming.

I do a once a year valuation on total assets, I went from 1.4 mil to 1.2 mil in one year with investment losses and helping support my son's family and paying for my Grandsons schooling. I also figure the house went from 200k down to 180k now that the market has cooled off and interest rates killed everything.

PS: My parents only paid $21k for the house that is mine, and will be my son's one day.

Since January 1st, I'm down over 27% and $75,000. However, since late last year, I'm down an additional $7,000. Thus, this trend of losses started well before this year started. I'm down $82,000 from the high point that I was at. All the money that I made under Trump has been stolen by these fucking retards and their policies.

I have a 456 that only I contribute to (pre-tax) and my numbers are almost identical to your's percent wise and cash wise.

Sad, isn't it? All the money we made in four years under Trump has disappeared in one year. I'm convinced that the Democrats and the Feds manipulate the markets to rob us in order to fund their brainless ideas.

The only saving grace is that it's only devaluation of the funds my money is invested in. If or when the market recovers I still have the same amount of stock in the mutual funds......or at least that's the way it was explained to me. I put in that 456 $750 a payday and that's about to go to $875 a payday as we just got a 4% COL increase. Every raise I get from here on out 100% goes to that 456. No way my city retirement will be enough to comfortably live on. 9 more years and I will be done at 59.....or at least that's the plan.

 

[Boss351 T-Bird]

Im down, but my home value is double what it cost me to build in 2018, does that count?

Only to your tax assessor-collector....

 

[Boss351 T-Bird]

Down about 15%..... and going nowhere with a -10% rate of return...... I was crankin' it under Trump, making 18% ROR..... I was seriously considering retiring at 62 ( 2 years out), but the mid-term elections may have screwed me as I don't see the market climbing back into the upper 30's anytime soon. I've made and lost the same $30K so many times in the last year that I've lost count.

Part of the problem is none of the younger Democrat / Socialist / Communist voters give a crap about your IRA, my IRA, or anyone else. What can the government GIVE ME TODAY?

 

[mixed up]

I haven't looked at cruise stocks after I got burned the last time......still up for the year on them, but don't own any now. When my ETF's bottomed this summer I went all in. Not much tax loss harvesting needed this year.

I fear that in my lifetime, the commies will go after our private retirement accounts.

When the masses of have-nots exceeds those who actually did plan, politicians will buy votes promising to tax your neighbor's retirement so you can get a check too.

So they will care, just not in a way that is beneficial.

Or, they will just bankrupt all of us so they can finish the revolution.

 

[Third Gen Racer]

How much is your admin fees? Mine has been about $175.00 per 100K in my acount each month. It come out as units deducted from my account.

 

[Racer997]

Down about 13% since all this started. I have an aggressive, high-yield chunk of investments, that I have lost on, but I also have a big chunk in historically safer but lower-yield stuff. I moved some of the former to the latter but not before I took it up the azz for a bit. Days like yesterday, with the Dow up 1,000 points, aren't frequent enough and haven't returned yet what I have lost. Just like Joe Biden, the markets have no idea what they are doing of late, with most of that credit going to Biden, of course....
