I haven't checked in over a yr. I just keep plugging along, doing my contributions every month. The guys who advise me are the ones who watch that for me. Plus, you don't really lose any money until you actually cash in your chips and leave the market. So why worry about it?

but I bet my % was higher..

I'm 50% small and mid cap so I'm not even looking

7% but is is ok - I hope to not need it and pass it on to kids on day.
Let the dividends continue to roll in - I will be making some purchases tomorrow as well.

For me last years lows in the SPX and Dow are very important. If those don't hold we could be in for something very nasty. The NYSE, WLSH, and R2K have already taken out there low from last year...we'll see if the SPX and Dow follow.
ETA: The previous years low in the SPX and Dow hadn't been breached since March of 2009.

Only down 25k so far but I expect this to keep going for a while
But I'm poised to buy heavy when I think it's near the bottom and I've got 15 years before I want to retire so not too worked up over it.

I don't go by percentages. I go by total stock value. I lost $25K in 2015. I'm down $1K in the last two months. My best year was 2013..up $51K.

-7.84% I'm only 31 so plenty of time left, but it still hurts to watch.

Shoved half my IRA contribution last week thinking 17 was the bottom
Posted on 1/15/16 at 2:28 pm to Teauxler
im 34 and down about 30k since the end of 2014, mostly due to oil... not too worried as most of the holdings are blue chips.

I sold my entire portfolio on Nov 1st 2015. I was itching to sell all year long (because I still think our economy and stock market are just smoke and mirrors) and once it dropped in August, I was kicking myself.
Once it rose back up to near the July point, I cashed out - but left everything in cash in my Vanguard accounts. Ready to buy quickly.
I know they say you can't time the market and I believe it. But I got out at the right time for sure.
Now, my problem is when to buy back in. If I did it today, I would be in a solid position but I keep thinking that if I wait all year, even better.
if it starts rising quickly, I may jump back in.

Bunches. Still piling it on, once a week, every week, like clockwork.

You might want to diversify once it breaks back close to even unless that is an insignificant portion of your wealth. If it isn't, you have too many eggs in that basket.
