bbqmon | My retirement accounts are down 36% this year. Is that average? |
I'm wondering if everyone is down 36% like me. Is my 401k and traditional IRA too aggressive? Im 36 years old and i've lost over $40,000 in my retirement accounts in the last two months :(. Good thing I'm not going to retire for another 30 years! |

If you are mostly in stocks, that is average. This has been a horrible year. But if you have 30 years to go before you need the money, now is not the time to sell your stock based funds.
The way you need to look at it is that stocks are on sale right now. Your same monthly investments into these funds are buying more shares than they would have a year ago. This is good for when the market recovers. As you move closer to retirement you will want to slowly move a portion of your retirement funds to bonds and money market funds. But the worst thing you can do right now is sell and turn your paper loss into a real loss (unless you are convinced that the market is going to fall much further). I think we are close to a bottom and I see this as a good time to put even more money than usual into stocks. |

In theory, 30% reduction can be accrued to the current economic crisis, according to financial news agencies. My guess is 36% reduction is the result of the current crisis. Fed government urgently needs to decide and act faster, much faster to stop the crisis and recover the stability and growth we used to have. We, the people, also have to trust our economic system and act with confidence. A big part of this crisis is in the hands and brains of people just like you and me. |

I'm down almost 17 percent. The S&P is down 38 percent. You may be a little too exposed to the market. The rule of thumb is to have the same percentage as your age in bonds and fixed income and the rest in stocks. But you shouldnt worry too much. You're young and wont be retiring for a long time. |

It's about right. You're doing fine.
Make sure your asset allocation meets your realistic goals and risk tolorence.
A correct asset allocation is more important than picking the "right" funds. |

that's about right--go by the Dow and S&P to find averages (I think both are down over 30% and falling). |

The SPY which is the market average is down about 40% since the bears market started. So for a buy and hold strategy that is about average.
I personally don't like to just Buy and hold because bears markets can take their toll on you. |

You better be careful and set some stop losses. Try to protect your investments with hedges (bear market etfs). If it was me and i'd lost that much, i'd be on the sidelines or hedging my portfolio to protect as much as possible. Really depends on what your investments are as to whether you want to get out or not. Just remember the dot com bust --tech stocks were trading for hundreds of dollars a share and although some did not go out of business, they never came back to those levels. Be careful and protect your money! |

Mine is down 34.4% I'm not really worried about retirement as that is several years off. As long as the market bounces back in the next few years i don't think it will be an issue. |
