I earned slightly less than the market due to diversification. Came in at 26.9% for 2019, not too shabby. I am sure many did even better. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | ||

because I was putting money in all year and it was making money for the time it was in, which varied depending on the time of year it was put in, I can't easily calculate it. But I have more now than last year, and I'm happy. . | |||

I'm just going with the number shown on my annual report. It's just a weighted average of the return for the funds that you are in. I don't think it accounts for timing unless maybe you started contributing to a new fund mid year. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

Self directed IRA invested 80% stock (27 stocks) and the balance cash. I subscribe to a number of Motley Fool services that cost very little compared to standard advisors.

My tsp account (401k for federal employees) made 30.49%. I’m quite pleased with the Trump economy! “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” | |||

The D-train has increased my retirement accounts by 25% this year. I lost large sums of money under Obama and, at the best of times, maybe got 10%, but more like single digits, if not a loss. ---------------------------- Chuck Norris put the laughter in "manslaughter" Educating the youth of America, one declension at a time. | |||

An amazing year; what's not to like?  "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

My 401a (401k for public sector employees) had the annual average of 30.8%. My 457 was in the high 20’s. Don’t remember off hand. | |||

Mine was around 26% if I remember correctly. Under Trump my retirement 401K through work has gained back everything I lost during the last resident and then some. I was losing so much money under Obama I didn't think I'd have an account left by the time he got out of office. Just a week or so ago I saw an article that claims under Obama the market was one of the best ever and under Trump it is one of the weakest. For some reason I think it was a fictional piece. | |||

solid percentage but to be fair 2018 was pretty flat and DEC 2018 was really bad. So the 'up' for 2019 was coming off a pretty bad Dec. 2018. "For the quarter, the S&P 500 and Dow plunged 13.97 and 11.8 percent, respectively, their worst performances since 2011. The Nasdaq plunged 17.5 percent in the period, its biggest quarterly fall since 2008. A sizable chunk of this quarter’s losses came during a violent December. The indexes all dropped at least 8.7 percent for the month. The Dow and S&P 500 also recorded their worst December performance since 1931 and their biggest monthly loss since February 2009." ------------------------------------- Proverbs 27:17 - As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. | |||

We're quite conservatively invested. As such: We're seeing ±13%, year-to-year, almost regardless of what the market does. Those gains slightly outstrip our disbursements, and that's just fine by us.

My 2018 was up 17.39%, and yes, december 2018 was ugly. 2017 was negative, no matter how hard I tried to manage things, still lost more than 7%. | |||

Time to rebalance to your risk tolerance..... I did 23% because I rebalance regularly and I am a little risk averse. Do, Or do not. There is no try. | |||

My 401k is at about 26% gains... but most of my money is in rollover IRAs from previous 401ks. There I'm up about 80% over the last 3-4 years, coming close to doubling it. The last year was a good 25%. | |||

I'm retired, but I took a partial lump sum payout on my pension & put it in a conservative risk investment account. This past year was up 21.8% ------------------------------------------------ "It's hard to imagine a more stupid or dangerous way of making decisions, than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong."
