Quoted from Razorbak86:Good question. Since I haven't checked in a while, I just checked this afternoon following your post.
Not only has the total value returned to pre-2008 levels, but it has handily exceeded those levels. I hesitate to post this, because it might seem like bragging, but the current value of my portfolio is 2.2x higher than my pre-crash peak (Aug 2007), and 3.7x higher than my post-crash low (Oct 2008). The post crash years have been very good to me!
Agreed. I was only a few years into a career when things tanked so I didn't really have much built up prior to that. My 401k is enjoying those years now because of everything bought then. My company stock fund, shares bought really cheap. All the other funds, again, shares bought a lot lower than they are now. Ups and downs happen, but the key is to build up when things are looking bad. Now if the pin market would let me build up a little.
