I'm a RCH (don't ask) of going negative. It's really close.

I must have caused the latest correction. I'm no longer positive for the year. We can now all return to our former states of despair.

I think we should all start whining about being negative. Obviously the market gods are watching us. Considering our spending our net was always negative anyway.

I am back in the don't look mode. I really need to look at the investments on a quarterly basis. Looking daily or even weekly will drive you crazy.

Ok, as of close Friday (5/23) I'm down around -4.5% on a 60/40 mix.
Does it matter? Nope. I'm retired and have 3+ years of gross income in MM accounts, after "harvesting" my gains in December during my first year of retirement.
Can't be too concerned about it. I know in the long term (investing since '82) I'll have an "up year" when I can harvest future income.

I was in the gym locker room Friday, and CNBC was on. The guy slightly older than me said don't look it will only depress you. I said naw it it a buying opportunity. He said "what an optimist I am thinking about unretiring." I said well I have to admit I would be ok with a few less buying opportunities lately.
