In spite of withdrawing about $15,000 in living expenses and est tax pmts, my accounts recently bested my all time high water mark reached last fall.
Right now I'm about 80% equity- reached 90% briefly a few weeks ago.
I don't really understand this good fortune, as some of my large holdings have been weak. Others, especially new specs bought during the January meltdown have recently been very strong.
My method is to pray to whichever saint has momentum.

Hail to the chief! Impressive. Send me a complimentary copy of your investment news letter and I might sign up. 
Down 1.5% YTD and down 3.7% from my all time high last fall. That's with a 47/53 blend. Pretty happy with it too considering how much I was down.

Down 3.5% overall when looking at total portfolio (73% Equities, 18% bond, 9% cash)
Planning on infusing some cash into areas that need rebalanced...as soon as we figure out what those areas are. Time to crunch some more numbers.

I noticed that that KRE regional banking ETF that Brewer had been recommending seems to have recently gone up 30% from its bottom. Those who followed his advice probably had a nice momentum play there.
I am down 3% since January 1st and down 4% off my all-time high.
I am currently about 55% equity.
My numbers are probably a little skewed since I currently only track my total investable assets and my percentages are distorted by money that I save from my paychecks.

401(k) plan is up about 5.3%, but it is only 10% of portfolio.
Total portfolio of invested assets is down about 5%. We are 30% US stocks, 30% foreign stocks, 30% bonds, and about 10% TIAA real estate.

The Rational Investing Portfolio (or at least my particular flavor of it in our personal accounts) was down almost exactly 2.5% for January. I'm between rebalancings so I started the year with 43% stocks, 37% bonds/cash and 20% Other (commodities, energy, hedge funds, commercial real estate, private equity)
