How did your portfolio do in 2010 ?

MSMoney did not go away. Instead it became free and unsupported. It works rather well for all this. I doubt you are getting much support for Quicken from Intuit anyways, so why pay for it?

I made no contributions and no withdrawals during 2010

My total gain for my retirement money was 9.9%

I had 42% of my money in stocks which earned a 20% return
I had 33% of my money in a CD earning 6%
I had 25% of my money in cash which effectively earned nothing.

(note: The reason I had so much in "cash" was because I had earned such a good return in 2009 that I wanted to play it safe. This percentage will decline in 2011)

Used my own spreadsheet and formulas and I came up with 13.9%. Still contributing to 401k and IRA at max, so subtracting that I came up with 11.2%... 60E/35B/5C

12.3% on 60/40 with some major consolidating during the year. I'm fairly happy with that considering where we've been the past few years.
