Want2retire said:Down 3.7% on my small Roth, which is not as well diversified yet as I would like. I only started it in November. Even including today's losses I have still made a few bucks on it.
Won't know about most of my other losses until tomorrow. They should be a smaller percentage since they are better diversified.
Hot dog! I'm down less than 2.3% in my TSP, where most of my retirement funds lie. It is spread out nicely between C (S&P 500), G (govt), S (Small/mid-cap), and I (International) funds.
Even better - - get this - - since I am contributing the max plus over-50, and since I got a substantial raise this year that is the basis for my % match, the total amount in my TSP account was higher two weeks ago.
The contrast between performance in my poorly diversified new Roth, and my better diversified TSP, is like a textbook illustration of the value of a diversified portfolio.
