The losses in our taxable mutual fund investments last month were about $4,000. That's about 3.6%, which isn't too bad. For mutual funds, we make $800 new contributions last month. The individual stock part, however, is much worst, down about 12.5%, mostly because of those Chinese ADRs I bought, which have been a nightmare for me since last November :( For the retirement accounts, we are making much larger monthly contributions than we do with taxable accounts and the new money indeed offset the size of the losses a bit. Without the new money, the losses could be a percentage point higher. 2m: Most of our losses in taxable accounts are from individual stocks.

There is one more valuable resource I’d like to share with others readers. It’s called Secrets of Successful Traders that teaches you…

How to turn $1000 into $ 1MILLION in 5 years or less using nothing but…

– a brokerage account (so that you can trade),
– $1000 in a pocket
– And one ‘jealously guarded’ strategy that won’t even require you to spend 20 minutes a day.

And remember, there is no chart reading or boring technical analysis involved in the entire trade process.
