Wellesley and Wellington show huge losses

[HI Bill]

mine too lost over a third of my portfolio

You might need diversification?

 

[HI Bill]

Good news is, CNBC's showing it at $65.14. Unlike VG, and Yahoo finance.

 

[Samething]

Talk about SORR! Wellington is showing a big drop too. I was freaking out for a bit.

If 50% of your assets are in one fund, you may not be as diversified as you think. If you're holding Wellesley, it is comprised of 59.25% bonds, 37.65% stocks, and 3.10% bonds. If you also have 40% bonds outside this fund, then you have 70% bonds total.

I have 6 funds total

Fixed on Yahoo, not yet on VG's site.

Maybe they never existed and we are just at the end of a 30 year Ponzi scheme/s Has anyone heard from Madoff lately?
This is only the 3rd weirdest conspiracy theory I have heard today.

I remember when Magellan was listed wrong in the newspaper and caused a real panic.

I will not look-I will not look.

What VWINX down 56% in one day when IVV was down .02% Something is not right

 

[CDRE]

Fixed on Quicken.

 

[njhowie]

Fixed on Fidelity now.

 

[eytonxav]

I have my admiral shares housed at Wells Fargo, no problem there.

 

[Golden sunsets]

Fixed on the Vanguard site as well.

But not fixed on the BOA account that holds this asset.

For some reason, long-ago poster ObGyn56 comes to mind.
I wonder how he’s doing these days?

 

[Golden sunsets]

Seems to have corrected itself. I need to watch these forums a little less.

But not fixed on the BOA account that holds this asset.

Our VG accounts aren’t yet showing the fix.

Psst Wellesley is the sound of the air leaving Wellesley's tires.

It's not a Psst... It's a BANG.


I saw this on my Quicken screen. Surely, it's a computer error.

Went to Yahoo Finance. Saw the same terrible quotes.

Log on to my Vanguard accounts. Yep, big loss.

Went back to Quicken. It's now fixed, as Vanguard now reports the corrected quotes.

Look on Yahoo again. The quotes are also corrected.

I will not bother to log back onto Vanguard.

I can't say for sure but it's likely a mistake. I was just watching nightly business report and they said there were some glitches in the market returns for today and what is reported may not be the correct number. So what to do? Wait and see what it says in the morning is my feeling.

You guys are funny. Glad I went to play minature golf with DW, DD and DSIL instead of getting stressed up.

 

[Aerides]

wow glad I missed this!

 

[Llep]

My Vanguard bond funds usually update around 6 to 615 EST. Today they didn’t update until 755 EST. That is unusual.

 

[W2R]

Sorry, my fault! Obviously they just did this to get my mind off tomorrow's knee surgery.

 

[NW-Bound]

Just a minor computer error or mistake.

Wait until a bad guy explodes a high-altitude device to cause an EMP wiping out all those bits that represent your assets.

Mr. A logging onto his account: "Your balance is 2.1 shares of Wellesley".

Mrs. B logging onto her account: "Not recognized user name".

Now, that's something to worry about.

That's another reason I'm not giving up my monthly paper statements.

I can't even get logged in. Tried it on my phone. Tried it on my PC. Nothing.
