How much of your portfolio have you lost since your personal high?
You mean so far, right?How much of your portfolio have you lost since your personal high?
Already voted, but perhaps the number is more significantly expressed in percentage.
Why does this poll assume everyone has had a loss?
Strange how I like this poll- misery does love company.

I should have include an "I made money option."
my personal high was when i FIREd in April 07.How much of your portfolio have you lost since your personal high?

Actual dollar figures are scarier than percentages, and I am interested in the wreckage. it is one thing to say i have lost 25% (which is what I have lost). It is totally another to say i have lost $1,000 or $1,000,000, both of which could be that 25%.
By the way, look over the entire world. Many foreign stock indices went down more than S&P 500 or the DOW. There's misery all over the world. So, are we all poorer? Probably not, if we do not compare to the few who have gone 100% to cash.
There! I hope I make everybody happier. We still own the same companies as we did last year, the same house we did. Just the price tag we put on them got marked down. Again, do not compare yourself to the few who are 100% in cash. We are in this together.
Glad there is an "I made money" category now. And I guess you can classify my gains as "paper" too. Especially the paper with pictures of George, Abe, Alex, Andy, US Grant and Ben Franklin.
The CD's are slow but steady and I keep adding to my portrait collection every month.
So you've told us...and told us...and told us.There are more in 100% cash than you realize.
Me included.
