If your IRA chart looks like this how concerned are you?

This is my IRA chart some others may be more horrific. It is the past 3 months.
It looks like the economic two step.
After each contribution it goes up for the moment, then it goes down as the month progresses.
Are you guys seeing a similar track record?
It may be time to switch to more stable funds.
I doubt I have seen any gains in the past 10 years.

Zero because I'm going to be working for another 30 years easy

I wouldn't be concerned about a three month period.
However, if you haven't seen gains in 10 years you're doing something wrong.

being in my early 40s i look at down tuns in the market as opportunities to by more shares with my contributions then during higher market periods. Unless you are close to retirement/in retirement, dips are not a bad thing
In 2008 i looked at it as being able to buy 2x as many shares as i was able to buy in 2007 with the same contribution. so 2008 became two years of contributions vs other years.

My contributions kept me at even this year, but last year I murdered it.
Who is managing your IRA?

Should be pretty easy to find that info

That’s going to look minuscule when you retire baw

I get excited. Buying more for less is a great way to get to early retirement.

You must have been in all cash then. The past ten years has been an epic bull market for stocks unless you got it right before the crash.

I'm surprised no one has said that chart does not mean anything.
no labeling of axis, no title, and most importantly no scale. Wtf

Since the US market crash in 2008-2009, the US stock market was up 500% at one point earlier this year.
My portfolio has grown 3x since 2009 and I'm just investing primarily in lost cost index funds/etfs.
If you haven't seen any gains in the last 10 years, you really need to figure out what you're doing.
UPDATE: I just saw your other post that it's being managed by a firm and they are using high cost funds. You need to transfer your assets somewhere else (Vanguard, Fidelity, etc) and take control.
