My investment return was negative for 2015. It happens. If there was no risk the eventual reward would be smaller.jfly wrote:Who made good money last year?
I've been doing an annual review and am dismayed. The closure of 2015 represents my 2nd serious year of investing, and it's tough to see that I lost money last year. Maxing out 401k, Roth IRA, and then putting some more in taxable, and also knowing about dollar cost averaging and staying the course...I've still got the pill stuck in my throat! Thinking the 2014 performance would trend through 2015 and imagining what I would have by end of 2015 may not have helped...ha!
2015 was not even a bad year either. Just wait for a large bear market. Stay the course.
