Well, 'even' does not say it right. Yesterday knocked me down to 8% below even in the large account. One smaller account is down about 19%. And a puny account whose brokerage fees make daytrade shaves impossible, is down 35%. All three were 5%-9% better yesterday morning.

I know it could be worse, but it is substantive when you realize my sole source of living assets only come from the profits made as the principal is not accessible.
