[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will not look this week. Long term focus![/quote] I'm the opposite. I track my net worth weekly and I find it very reassuring. I'm down about $37,000 from my high point about a week ago and that puts me back where I was in early to mid December. No big deal. My net worth is way up from last summer and fall (some of the increase is market gains and some is re-invested dividends and 401k contributions). Tracking my investments weekly, which I have done since 2009, allows me to see that fluctuations are normal and nothing to panic about. I'm comfortable with my allocations (right now I'm at approximately 62 percent stock, 33 percent bonds, and 5 percent in a real estate fund) and I periodically rebalance to make sure stocks stay between about 60 and 65 percent.
