Quoted from Blitzburgh99:For those folks with all their loot tucked away safely in IRAs and 401k, have your investments returned to pre-2008 levels?
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!
