[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this 50% from the peak or 50% of what he has put in? A lot of my growth stocks have lost 75-80٪ from their peaks but that doesn't mean I've lost that much. Plus most of my money is in vtsax to balance it out I still think you're better off holding especially if in 401k since you can't tax loss harvest either. [/quote] For my personal account which he rolled over in March 21 it’s down 50 percent. Very frustrating. He said these are long term picks. I just don’t agree. Bad choices and gambling in my opinion. He bought at the highest point. They have been down all year with the exception of one. [/quote] It doesn’t really matter how much they are down. How far are you going to take your disagreement over investment choices?[/quote] I’m pushing to get a financial adviser for the family. Yes you can save a few percent to handle it yourself but since we have conflict over how it should be handled AND we are losing money and not doing great with our investments it makes sense in our situation. This has been the major thing we fight about since we have been married. We have been lucky with income and equity but if we continue down this path of taking risky investments we will continue to likely lose more and more. I personally would rather be conservative and comfortable than have the chance to be really rich. [/quote]
