Corey | I've lost 20% of my investment!!!? |
I'm 23 years old and was told by my financial adviser that it would be good - at my age - to invest in a more aggressive portfolio. We immediately made a good profit, but since February my investment has lost slightly over 20% of its original value!
I'm being told that this is about how the market has done and that it would be best to stick with the investment for some time. We're currently invested in a variety of mutual funds like DTMEX, DTMMX, DYMVX, DFTSX, and DISVX.
What should I do? |

Are you investing for the long term? If you continue to invest more you can dollar cost average your positions down so when they market rebounds you will be sitting even more pretty. It's not a loss till you sell so wait it out and take advantage of all the cheap shares. You're 23, you will see many ups and downs in your day. Now everything is down but soon it will go up again. |

What I did is trading forex through a couple of online brokers like www.fxpro.com or www.eglobal-forex.com and using only Expert Adviser, an automatic trading tool that will do the trading for you which will minimized the risk when trading manually. For the EA I used from www.viking234.com and they give me a magnificent monthly gain ranging from 8-30%!
I don't know about you but it works for me....

Welcome to the club - most stock market investments are down this year.
Have you heard about the mortgage meltdown? The high price of oil/gas? Both have put a drag on the economy and in turn on the stock market.
I don't know anything about YOUR particular investments. Start learning about investing and how the stock market and mutual funds work or learn to trust your broker.
Consider investing in the one investment that you control 100% - YOURSELF. Educate yourself. Become a valuable person to your current or future employers.
Good Luck. |

A professional whose managed portfolio loses more than 10% of its value will find himself or herself looking for a different line of work soon.
There is a saying that "any fool can make money in a bull market". Telling you to keep your losing positions because the market is going down is a lame excuse. It is like a doctor telling you to stay in bed, simply because you are sick, and not offer a cure, and that you might get well sometime soon.
They made money from you as a client--how come you are losing yours? |

Fire your adviser. It looks like you are 100% stocks. Your portfolio should be no more than 75% stocks; the rest in bonds... and that's if you have the stomach for aggressive investing; maybe you should be more 50/50.
More than likely, you will have losses by the end of year. Sell all your losers for the tax deduction; then go put 50% in the Vanguard Index 500 fund and 50% in the Vanguard Total Bond Market fund. You will perform exactly like "the market", pay low expenses, and have limited taxable distributions. |

Unfortunately your financial advisor uses a very poor system in selecting stocks. My key to being so successful with picking my stocks and call and put options is TIMING. Not many can match my skills in selecting the right stocks at the right time. U can take a look at my last selections for past 2 weeks for free as well as get future selections for free. www.cashthecheck.ws
If I were u I would fire your financial advisor immediately as he knows nothing about stock selection. |
