It's believable since the return of S&P500 is 12.18% since 1976.

Re: YTD 2006 investment

Quicken says 17% YTD, but I don't trust it. The prior version of Quicken (from the mid 90's) would give me a different overall IRR depending on whether I viewed the data grouped by goal, asset type, or account. I'll have to run the numbers manually sometime.

That number is probably inflated by some company stock that did well. My very diversified mix of mutual funds is up around 9-10% for the year.

Re: YTD 2006 investment

Vanguard tells me my IRA is up 13.3% YTD and overall is up 16%, but I've added some to that, and moved some around and I'm too lazy to figure it out........Shredder

Re: YTD 2006 investment

According to Vanguard's website:

1yr: 20%
3 yr: 17.6%
5 yr: 11.9%

These totals do not take my CDs into account.

I have an awful lot of REIT stuff in my portfolio: VGSIX, IYR, and Alpine RE. I figure I'm just gonna' let the REITs run for awhile longer--even though currently they're about 25% of my portfolio. VGHCX (health care) and VGENX (energy fund) have been a big help over the years.

Re: YTD 2006 investment

Caution: As discussed further upthread, it is important to use 'current year' selector in Quicken ROI indicators, not YTD selector.

The YTD takes ROI YTD and projects that out for the rest of the year. Beats me why Quicken does it that way.

I'm using Quicken 2005 Deluxe and I do not see a "current year" ROI.

ROI YTD is 13.31%

ROI 1 Year is 12.12%

The number I really measure by is my trusty "Annual Portfolio Withdrawl" spreadsheet. I list all my assets, i.e. mutual funds, stocks, checking, cash on hand, etc. each December 31. I divide that in to my total annual expenses. I also compare each year's total assets with the previous year's total and also track long term gains or losses.

My YTD increase in total assets is 9.9%, including total YTD expenses.

That's why I'm more concerned about my own net worth growth rate than I am with my ROI, especially in the accumulation phase.

Looking back at the 00-02 years, I still had solid net worth growth, mostly due to working and saving more to make up for less investment growth.

1999 : +20.70%
2000: -6.04%
2001: -12.23%
2002: -17.49%
2003: +29.51%
2004: +11.82%
2005: +8.95%
2006: +11.57% (YTD)

Ave: +5.85% for the period (of course, I have returns back to '82, but I doubt that you are interested in "ancient history ).

Just give it time, the market will always be up (over the long term). The trick is to have enough there (at retirement) to get over the "short term" variations...
