Have you looked at your retirment account?
- Thread starter ire
- Start date
I ain't looking and I'm 63. This stuff runs in cycles that last decades.
Throw those statements away when they come.
Throw away and pray.

I haven't looked for that exact reason. Even before all this mess in the past few weeks, mine was worth less than I've put in.
-7.37% not too worried. My picks are deeply conservative, just like my political views 
way down. way way way down. don't care, have 35 years before I retire and I upped my contributions so I'm buying more as the price goes down.
The good news is that Japan's stock market bounced right back after their economic unpleasantness when their property bubble burst and banks got into trouble...
My professional investment advisor put me in 100% cash back around January.
If you are not risk adverse, now is the time to buy. I'm thinking of buying but have not pulled the trigger.
I would hope that you don't have much invested in the market at this point.
dollar cost averaging works pretty well. buy some now, buy some later, buy some after that.

I checked. I was down 30%, and my response was "bargain central." I'm putting everything I can find into the market now. ****'s cheap. For a company like Yahoo, their fundamentals haven't changed a lick and they're trading at 10. MSFT offered 35 not too long ago.
I got some statement s in the mail yesterday . I waited a few hours but curisity got the better of me and I looked , as of sept 30 , down 25% , I was hoping to retire at 58 ( 14 years from now ) but now maybe not.
I'm down 27%.
Thinking of cashing the rest out, buying some bikes and guns, and realizing that the future is pretty much screwed.

that is what really scares me. I hope some of the fund managers were able to do something . My retirement accounts are spread across about 2 dozen different funds
my retirement account isn't phased at all. it is too small to fluctuate much anyhow but i do quiver when they lower interest rates
Thats a good point, with my account down 35% and the dollar in the toilet I'm really down around 60%
Mine was down a little...but I have confidence it will bounce back. Economys are cyclical...plus I have guns and ammo, and kids to barter for food.

I used my liquidity to but a Glock 21 and as many boxes as I could.
Best investment I've made this year.
werd. about the only thing that goes up in value in these times are made of steel
i left everything in my IRA's but pulled out the little i had in my employer paid 401k and bought a few more rifles. keeping them in the case in the hopes of selling later which grab a return greater than my falling 401k would for sure my retirement account:
5.56? I am disappointed...I figured at least 7.62...
