I’m officially back where I started when Biden took office

My retirement account is right back where it was the day Biden took the oath of office. Problem is, I’ve contributed nearly $20,000 since then

You should consider just buying S&P index..

I just don't look anymore. I'll be up 10k, down 5k, down 15k, then back up 25k. Nothing makes sense anymore.

That’s crazy. Mine is way up. Maybe stick with index investing.

I mean no offense, but I don’t think that’s “the problem”.

That’s the good news. The bad news is that a dollar is worth about 75% of what it was worth when that clown was installed.

You only deposited $20K in 2 1/2 years?

We must have very similar holdings.
I'm in all index funds by the way.

I'm still down quite a bit. My 401k is -1.6% YTD from January 1st and over -8% since Covid.

Then you are doing it wrong. I have been positive for a while. Not blowing the doors down, but not negative.

Edit: redoing math because I fricked up the dates…

Me too. I went from a bunch of index type funds to a managed portfolio hedging against a recession. An important note is that most of the recent gains are based on a handful of funds.

Isn't that what dollar cost averaging is all about?
