Wow.
I was looking very good too early in the year in the taxable accts. But from Aug thrugh Dec, 70% of my gains vanished! And that, despite my seling a lot of what I had in Aug and Sept because I really was getting bearish. But I held on to some stocks waiting for them to take one more upward bounce before selling them, and those bounces never came!

Then in November I began to bottom fish and enough of that went bad so that i ended up with a fraction of the gains i had in the late spring.

I did not get fooled by that summer rally- I did not think it would last into the fall. But I never suspected how brutal and consistent the Sep- Dec crash would be.
