So, I am looking back through my retirement account from one job I held for 4 years.
2018 was a tough year, my total was down -8.32%, every cent of which was in the last quarter, when the stock market took a YUUUUGE dump.
In 2019, I am up 20.27%.
2016 - +9.59%
2017 - +16.36%
2018 - -8.32%
2019 - +20.27%
3 years - +8.04% annualized
2015-2019 - +7.49% annualized
This is all pretty new to me. this account is only from when I worked in Ponca City and I only contributed to it from Jan 2015 through June of 2018. No new contributions since then. My lowest point was Christmas Day 2018. the tank began Oct 10, 2018 and began to rebound immediately after Christmas, being back up to 'even' or my pre-tank point in February of 2019.
So 2019 was a good year for my widespread investments, I hope it continues, but I'm not sure, we'll see how things go. I've since started another 401k, this time with actual matching employer contribution up to 4%, I think, not just my own (F You, TeamHealth). This account should build much faster, I hope.
I'm open to tips, if anyone has any. I'm maxing my 401k for now, and investing in guns and ammo. lol
