how much has your 401k dropped?

[MeetTheFerentz]

I don't get this. Isn't aggressive what you want to be when you are "a ways from retirement"?

Yes. That's pretty much what I meant. I guess maybe I should have typed "since" instead of "considering" to make it less ambiguous.

Just as I didn't throw a new heights party for it 3 months ago, I will not throw a pity party now. but if I looked, I might want to, so not looking. I have 20ish years to recover.

Not sure about my 401k, but my total investments are down about $150k

I'm also going to miss out on a $20k bonus for the successful completion of a three-year mission critical project that went live March 1. My wife missed six weeks of work and is just now getting to to about 50% billing. So in total this has cost us about $200k.

But it's going to get worse, with local governors still insisting we have to stay shut down until we've beaten the virus completely.

I'll Venmo you $5 for a pic of wife.

I stopped taking monthly withdrawals from the 401k for now. Down 17%.

 

[QChawks]

Sorry bro’s

shit looks terrible

 

[srams21]

Down 100% Because I withdrew the whole thing in mid February when I quit my job and started my own business.

Ballsy move but ended up being good timing.

I hope your business endeavor pays off!

As of today my retirement accounts are down close to $12k, was down quite a bit more a few weeks ago. Stay the course! Don’t sell low! Have 30+ years until I will make withdrawals.

I still have an IRA but the stock market is a very small part of my retirement stratrgy. I took everything else out earlier this year and bought 240 acres of farm land. Have fun with the stable genius' unstable market.

Where and how much/acre?

 

[Hammer93]

Yanked 30% out in February. Currently buying Amazon and Microsoft with that money over the past 2 weeks. I will be fully back in at the end of May most likely (unless bad stuff happens). Down about 11% currently but wife (hot, but no pictures) and I both upped our 401K contributions this month to as much as well could afford. I'm a buyer right now of cloud, techs and anything that has to do with living in isolation. Bought P&G today as well.

Nope. It was clear.

NE Iowa and probably a tad too much. Its flat, black dirt though. Not like the rocks and clay that my family tried to farm 40 years ago.

Interesting. How is it going? Wishing you the best of luck!

I rarely look at it but I glanced this morning and I’m down 11.67% YTD

ouch

Only 2% because I switched everything into money markets weeks and weeks ago before it got bad.

Down just over 10% during 1Q. It's recovered a little so far in April. Thank goodness for account buffers limiting downside exposure.

 

[SeaPA]

Not spending the time to look at where my highest point was, but took a quick glance at monthly statements. From 1/31 to 3/31, was down about 16%. Have recovered roughly 1/2 of the decrease, so from 1/31 to yesterday's closing, down 7.7% (but made a couple months of contributions in that time, so the loss is about 8%.

I also set a little in cash in February. Not as much as you, but about 10%. I have been buying amazon, Microsoft and pg as well. Also bought some baba. As much I despise China, I love that company.

down about 11% on the year as well. I have very little in bonds, maybe 5% just as a place to rebalance into as I am growth oriented. Increased my contributions as much as I could to continue buying good investments at discount.

as much as it sucks to watch your portfolio go down, if you can stay gainfully employed through this shit, it is a golden opportunity for you.

Yes Sir. It is an opportunity that arises about every 10 years. Microsoft has been great and Amazon just as good. Glad I cashed some out. I have been a 3 year holder of AMD also. That thing is a beast!!!!!
