Stock Market

Looks like a decent correction going on this week. S&P briefly dipped into "10%" territory but looks like it recovered slightly. I kinda wish I had more cash laying around just now. :)

I am down around $ 60K over the past couple of months.  $ 20K more to go and I will be negative for the year.  Despite being in a 60/40 split diversified Vanguard fund.

Yeah, I've quit looking.

I'm pushing $100K drop in holdings value.

But, it's all dollar cost averaging.

I checked last Thursday, my balances are at Nov 2016 levels, not selling, and still buying every 2 weeks.

Yesterday did it for me.

My accounts are down $102,000 and change since this correction started.

I pretty much lost everything I gained this year...

[K Frame]

Yeah, that's a given for me, as well. I think that actually happened a couple of weeks ago.

I will say that more due to happenstance than to brilliant planning, I sold 50% of my stake in several high flyers, including HD and BP, a couple of months ago so have not been hit quite as hard. This was the first year in several years where my tax situation let me sell out of my taxable accounts, so I took advantage of that. Lucky timing. :)
