Personal investment returns: first half of 2010

[W2R]

I don't like beer. So far this dip is nothing compared with 2008-2009, IMO.

My portfolio is flat for the YTD too.

Well, he *did* say "time for another beer," not "time for you to have another beer."

Right! Time for me to have another glass of skim milk.....

As the saying goes, we really know how to party down here in New Orleans.

Well, I just finished two bottles of beer after a long bike ride.

My largest account is down 1.9%. I'm too lazy to look at them all.

However we have not been saving any money (we're both retired) since Feb of last year and have been hosing off 3% of our portfolio. Right now, we have more money than we did at the beginning of retirement before said hosing.

I can live with that.

I don't know what my ytd return is and really don't want to know. But, I will have a med.

 

[LOL!]

Looked at 'em all: YTD: -2.2%. Asset allocation is 30% US stocks, 30% foreign stocks, 34% bonds, and 6% TIAA-Real estate.

 

[Spanky]

Our YTD is 2.38%.

stock 32.85% bond 46.12% cash 21.02%

 

[2soon2tell]

-2.19% YTD 75/25 Stock/Fixed Inc

Nothing to write home about.

I'm sorry. Didn't mean to offend. As Ziggy so kindly pointed out, I wasn't suggesting you drink a beer, just stating my intentions to do so. I usually have one or two if the market goes down, or if it goes up, or if it stays flat.

Please, let me buy you a nice cold iced tea with a slice of lemon.

As far as the market goes, it's really pretty tame given the fear and uncertainty out there...
