To the thread:

Needless to say, just about all of us had a fabulous week. My portfolio is up 24% over the last 5 trading days. I'm not sure if it has ever appreciated as much in a single week. Even the week prior to 4/13/99. I don't know for sure.

To provide context, the dot was up 8% this week and is at 99% of its record high set in mid-April. The iix was also up 8% to a record high 4% above its April high.

However, my portfolio stands at only 85% of where it stood on April 13. At first, I attributed this fact to my being mostly out of the market during its intermediate term nadir in August. After all, as I did not want to reenter until I felt certain the bottom was in, I largely missed the move from that bottom to the point where I felt comfortable to reenter again.

However, if you look at the inet generals in which I was heavily invested in April, you see that they are faring even worse than my portfolio relative to their all-time April highs:

amzn 65%
aol 80%
ebay 55%
yhoo 70%

I would be interested in knowing how the inet portfolios of others are faring in relation to the dot or iix since April, now that both indices are at or above those highs. Is the lagging performance of my inet portfolio relative to these indices common? Or is it abnormal?

Thanks for your input.

Rob
