Crappy end of the year. I took a 14% hit trading, although I've not booked all the losses ... I did book some for tax purposes, however. And taxes have also eaten up almost all of my end-of-the-year distributions. Bah-humbug.
So after all my trading this year, where I was mostly up quite a bit, I ended up with about a 3% net loss. At least I didn't have as bad a year as Warren Buffett, who is down 11%. Still, I'm not happy about it and doing my best to simply put it behind me by reminding myself how lucky and truly fortunate I am. |
