Maybe a little more after today. But, at least I am doing better than seabiscuit!!!" joefromspringfield said: <<You are also doing better than Bob Brinker. His portfolio 1 is down 35.6% YTD thru 31 October.>> --Well, you can't compare apples and oranges. First, I'm down about 27% ytd, NOT thru Oct. 31. Second, my portfolio is over 50% in bonds and MM, while brinker's P1 is 100% stocks! Everything considered, I'd say brinker's portfolio is doing pretty good. The thing that is really dragging my portfolio down is commodities.
