I haven't been watching the markets but Sarah just informed me that this market sucks... so I checked my 401(k). Down 18% YTD. I might be curious enough to check all of my accounts later, I'm sure I'm out of line enough for a rebalance.
I don't count my cash position as it's short-term (3-5 year horizon) money and not part of my investment portfolio... if I counted that for investment purposes, then I'm sure I'm down a lot less as we're putting a significant percentage into cash.
I'm sure I'm just insane, but I'm sleeping pretty well at night. Then again, we have zero debt, almost no fixed expenses (rent is $500 and I can cut back on eating out if needed), no kids, and three jobs between the two of us... no danger of underemployment, just trying to fight off overemployment right now (side job turned into a 40 hr/week deal for the short term)
