Down 9%
Since 12/31/2007:
Portfolio Return: -4.5% (XIRR)
Portfolio Value: +33%
How is this possible? I would have guessed both would have had to have the same sign. Pls unconfuse me.
edit: perhaps you're including new contributions in value?
Down 16%, but up 628% since 8/1999!
Trying to take the long term view......Damn, that's only 6.28% per year.....
Up 18.7 percent excluding contributions.
You need to write a book. Congrats! Actually I'm up a similar amount. I forgot to add in an inheritance account. But that would be cheating as far as what we are talking about here.
I'm down 20%. I'd be down a lot less if we hadn't withdrawn a big chunk of our portfolio to live the last 20 months
...but I suppose that's one of the very few downsides of being retired.
Yep, otherwise I'd still be tenting...Is it safe to assume that the MH was purchased before this downturn?
