How do you all know this already? For many/most mutual funds you won't know until tomorrow. Not that it matters - you just rode rode up 600 pts in S&P in the last 3 days - now you're back to only up 300 pts? If you could tell me where we'll be in a month I'd be interested. Today.....

Owee. I feel your pain Cycling Investor, as we're down $1590 today. But Yay! up 2.21% for the week, thanks to stellar performance by Fording coal, which is up 11.64% this week! Which gives us a $77 dollar total earning on that stock since we've owned it! I think i'm not doing the stock market thing right.....

Around 100K on paper. Expect it back by year-end.

About $8k down today, looks like more opportunities for a little DCA.

Same here.
I haven't checked for a couple of days, but now that you asked, I can't see any change.

Congratulations! If you lost only the same % as the S&P, you have a almost a $6 million stock portfolio. Good going man!
I have a more conservative portfolio; it was down a bit less than 1%.

No, less than that. I currently have a very heavy REIT allocation. The RMZ was down 5.6% today.

I see; still you are clearly a heavy hitter, and as I remember you saved and invested it without much help from options, huge residence gains or other windfalls.

Sleeping well at night, ...glad my buckets are in place and functioning.
I was down 2% for the day. I am down 5% from my portfolio high.
I am up a meager 3.3% for the year.
I think I would have been up around 9% if I had cashed out at the top.
But I am determined not to be a dirty market timer anymore.
Do what you may market gods ... I've got my asset allocation set.

I normally never look at the gain/loss from one day to the next, but after seeing this thread I had a look.
Down 68k.
About 2/3 of that loss was in my single concentrated position that I'm locked into until 2009.
In my 'properly' allocated portfolio I was down 22k, or about 1.5%.
Still up for the year, though.

Definitely the best reply to this thread yet.
I'm on the "don't know" side.

I agree! Me too.
On paper, 1.2%.

I went down about $15,000. The market was expecting 1/4 rate reduction but it really wanted a 1/2. It didn't get what it wanted so it threw a temper tantrum !!

Don't know. Don't really care. But I did take the first step in converting all our IRA accounts to an all-index AA portfolio by tossing some cash from a stock sale into a balanced fund. Figured that I might as well start by buying on a big down day.

I download all quotes (stocks and mutual funds) into Quicken at 5:30 every evening. The portfolio view shows the net gain/loss at the bottom. I lost $8,400, but I'm 54% cash.
