With a 40/40/20 AA, I'm down 7.9% for the first quarter.
I noticed your poll does not include people who are currently up +5% to +10% such as myself...because I reallocated from 60/40 to 100% treasuries in 2019 per my comment #80.
Is it possible to add a line for this? There may also be people who was 100% cash which is 0%. I suggest adding this to your poll to be all inclusive.
Have you fact-checked what he said about "gradually reducing stock exposure"? Did he miss that great run-up in last half of 2019?
My point is that sales reps are pretty good at mind games.
can anyone ELI5 how you're calculating this?
Down 29% from the high.
Down 26% YTD.
I read today that even a 60/40 portfolio is down more than 20% from the high , yet 80% of the people on this board have done better than that according to the poll. .
I didn't know 80% of you had portfolios more conservative than 60/40. Interesting.
AA for my TSP was 80% C fund, 10% G fund, 10% Small cap.
Personal Investment Performance (PIP) for the past 12 months ending 02/29/2020 is 5.08%.
It will be a couple of days before I have March performance published but I am positive it will be negative territory.
Nice. I am all in total stock market/sp500 index and my ytd is -22%.Up 2.5% for 2020 so far. Only have my portfolio in bonds and cd's. I am a conservative investor. lol. Sold stocks around October and put all in cash. Hindsight, glad I did. I am on the lookout for purchasing some stocks when all this is over.
