How's your portfolio looking?

I can't put up with it. I got out of all this years ago after losing a big chunk. Good luck.

I might be down or I might be up I don't check it but once a year. Vanguard mutual funds are okay for my purpose I've got 40+ years till I see it.

Yeah, the last month has been rough for sure. We took advantage of a solid string of up days to really dial back exposure in our one fund that really can't lose a lot.

Personally, I'm down about 4% from my peak, not including cash contributions for the last month. A bad thing about accumulating a decent sized portfolio is the fact that a bad day wipes out thousands or tens of thousands of dollars. You know what you should do, it's a marathon not a sprint. I do anticipate this volatility hanging around for a while - at least the next month and likely the next 3.

When my grandmother passed away she left me a good chunk of money, which I've put a fairly substantial amount of into a brokerage account with Fidelity, 6 different mutual funds.

Problem is, I put it in literally a couple of days before the stock market started tanking last month. I thought I did a pretty decent job of researching and discussing my investments with the good folks at Fidelity, and bought into a couple of index finds as well as several other funds with 5 star ratings.

Since then I've watched the value of the account diminish by thousands. Even a 1% market loss during the day is a pretty significant hit. I know I shouldn't be watching the progress on a daily basis but I can't help it. I also know that in general the market it going to grow 6-10% per year but shit man I hate watching my money disappear daily, or almost daily.

If I sell off any of my shares right now, I'll be stuck with the losses.

Anyone else sweating it out right now?
