100.3% here, not counting my contributions.

It is not Dow 14,000+ again, but still my soon-to-be ER has been snatched from the jaws of the bear, it seems. (Well, I thought that sounded good but really I would have retired anyway.)

My planned SWR comes to a much higher amount than it would have in March, but that is just an artifact of the recovery. Not too worried about it, though. It was kind of "by guess and by golly" in the first place.
