    How’s your retirement account in the last couple of weeks?

    Curious how big of a hit did your account take or not at all?

    Still have the same amount of shares. The market goes up and down. Nothing to get emotional about.

    Buying more next week when we get paid. Good month for capital gains distributions and auto reinvestment. Can't wait until the calendar hits the new year as we lump sum contribute the employee portion of our Solo401k and HSA. Typically we do our 2 backdoor Roth IRAs the first week of January, but we'll see how that all pans out this year and might lump sum the same amount into taxable instead to start. Lots to be excited for, but even more outside boring ol' saving and investing.

    Has not been too bad. About 5-6% below all-time high.

    Tax loss harvest and buy back in on the low.

    YMMV

    Good luck!

    Down 5 percent. All gains since June are gone. But, still way up for the year. Expect to go up more in 2022!

    Market only investments in the past two weeks ... down 0.7% of my YTD gains.
    However, this year has been a banner year, up and up and there's unharvested.
    If you toss in the RE portfolio, there's no position like it ... ever in history, ever.

    Sitll way up for year..long term investments I pay little attention to daily or even monthly swings. I have a financial advisor that I trust and it is her job to make changes, if any. The run form 2009 to present has no equal.

    I almost never look at my retirement accounts. One is through work and all in mutual funds and the rollover one has blue chips I bought years ago like Blackrock, MSFT, Apple, Google etc. I just let them both ride. Honestly, I don't have enough time to deal with the retirement accounts so I sort of set them up as fire and forget.

    The wife and my Roth’s are up 15 and 20% YTD. Our Rollover IRA’s are up 3 and 1% YTD, as they are in fixed income investments. We are both old, so I have to stay safe. The latter just kills me psychologically, but I have a fear of losing my financial freedom.

    The sale prices last week are paying off the last 2 days.
