So, how's everyone's 401K doing?

[moparacer]

I would be down considerably more $$$ if I had not put a portion in prime money market.....

 

[ViviTheMage]

down 11.35%

 

[TallBill]

Mines doing great, I'm getting more shares every month for the same price.

So funny I can cry :-(
Halloween came early this year - and trick it is. It was already down ~25% before all this mess past week. I guess throwing another -10% on top of that now but I don't really wanna look.

 

[slag]

down 14.4% for the year after my contributions, however, I have less than 50k invested so its a relatively small amount of money.

 

[isasir]

-35.73%

 

[AMDZen]

I'm down about 30% as well

 

[JDub02]

Down a whole bunch ... close to 40%, but I'm in very "aggressive" funds. So as long as the economy/market comes back before I retire in 30 years, I'll be just fine.

 

[Soapy Bones]

I'm showing -14.54% but I think that only is updated through the end of September. Doesn't take into account this month which is definitely going to hurt...

 

[darkxshade]

0% I have not yet put a dime in my 401k since I started working, I may start now.

 

[Fritzo]

My 401K is down to a 398K

EDIT: LOL- my 401K website through Gold-Sac shows "Page can not be displayed"..is that a bad sign?

EDIT 2: OK, works now. They're still in business. I'm down a healthy -28.70% x2

 

[rh71]

Personal Rate of Return from 01/01/2008 to 10/08/2008 is -39.8%

 

[rsd]

I'm not even going to look

 

[rivan]

-30% for the year, -22% last 3 months.

SWEET.

 

[StormRider]

Hopefully someday, we'll all look back to this day and laugh about it....

 

[maddogchen]

-28%

 

[Lamont Burns]

Down 35%, and upped my contributions for my 10/1 paycheck.

Why would we laugh? If you have a reoccurring investment, then having the market drop a significant amount would be a good thing assuming that you are not near retirement.

How is this a hard concept for guys, who are all in the 99th percentile of smartness, to grasp?

 

[clamum]

I haven't applied for mine yet but I really really need to, especially since stocks are down right now. It would be nice if I could find where I put my paperwork. :-/

 

[LS21]

-32 YTD
-20 since 9-06

 

[K1052]

-15% YTD

My bond index holding softened the blows somewhat from the international and US funds.

 

[Pliablemoose]

I switched over to a bond fund a few months ago to stop the bleeding...

Ummm, because years from now everything will turn out okay and we'll sit back and laugh at how we thought the world was ending back then?

 

[ivan2]

[djheater]
