Fractional Retirement

[jtf]

While the market may not have gone down over a 10 year period, that doesn't mean that the individuals investing in it didn't screw themselves by buying high and selling low in a long cycle of poor investment that is much more common than any of will ever admit. If only I could convince myself to quit playing with it so much. I did a lot better before I started educating myself on investing and was afraid to touch it much. Oh well, I'll just work until I die. Negative 35% this year. Oh, well- at least I can't buy high right now.

Today the DOW is $8829.


Unless something changes for the better in December ... I think we have found the first 10 year period the market is Down.

You never know....there has been some nice gains last week. As long as people stop listening to the press and start investing with the brains, we have a shot.

-14% most of my money got moved to money markets. Starting to buy up some stocks now though.

I haven't sold anything. Not like I would know where to put it anyways? I have a lot of Latin American and such. I figure I will cost dollar average my way out of this!?

I think "fractional" is a very apt description for my retirement fund
