The Dow started 2010 at 10,583.96 points... and closed yesterday at 10,213.62
On January 4th, I had
• $11,500 Invested, 1,351.528 shares @ $8.53 a share... So $11,528.53
I had finally broken even after a horrible 2009...
If I had kept that in the market, it would be worth $8.21 a share after yesterdays closing... or $11,096.04
and i'd be in the red again...
Ya, i'm kind of glad I got out and i'm going to take the rest of 2010 on the side line.
You seem to be forgetting that retirement investing is for the longterm. You'll never make any money if you don't put it in the market. You have over 30 years until retirement. Put it in and forget about it! You will make yourself crazy with constant checking and updating. Quarterly is more than enough. I think you need to do more research on investing cause you're making some terrible moves.
