Dogwood Girl Fears Few Things
But, I admit it. I am scared of looking at my investments. I have not even peeked at them this month. I am an ostrich, head in the sand. Just the thought of it makes me feel weak in the knees, and sick to my stomach.
Have you looked at yours? What was your reaction?

As you may have seen by my FB status--- i updated all our investment transactions in Quicken. Seeing the bar graph made it worse than I thought. Nearly 25% gone over past 2 months. I'm trying to stay positive knowing that our tiny monthly investments will pay off over the next 30 years as we in theory "buy low." But it has me really down.
Mine was "put them DOWN Allison! There is no point in looking at those."
Yeah, that's kinda what I thought. Lauren, have fun tonight! (Saw Scott in the street.)
Really, 25%? Gaaaah.
I'm not looking. I may peek when the quarterly statements show up, but other than that there is no point. As Scott Slade said on the news yesterday, why sell now and lock in the losses?

Lisa, I knew you would be an ostrich about it too. Steph, i definitely wouldn't sell, but that doesn't mean I am not feeling sick at the losses. . .
i looked at mine. they were down. so are everyone else's. it'll come back around...what's everyone so afraid of? as clark howard says, you're buying distressed clearance items right now (esp for those aged 25-49). that's us!
I am refusing to look. Since I am only 27 I should have what, about 35 years before I retire? But I have learned a lot about what to do in the several years prior to retiring, that's for sure!
