I’d have to do some serious I’d have to do some serious analysis to pull out the performance since I’ve been making steady contributions the entire decade. Some of the time with matching company funds – some without.
Just looking at rough calculations – I’m pretty much even when I subtract out my contributions and the company contributions.

Total
What killed me was that Total
What killed me was that I lost a lot of money in 2008 and 2009, moved to bonds and missed the recovery in late 2009 and early 2010.

(Yes I have another theory, (Yes I have another theory, again!)
I come to the conclusion that since they went to this sub-Nano-second trading that they no longer care which direction the market is moving as long as it moves in a big way so they can vacuum up all the 401K money one Nano second at a time.
And the media helps them by cheerleading (up then down). It’s no longer about supplying capital to companies to invest in growth/improvements to the company/nation (they have angel investors and private takeover firms for that now), it’s all about sucking all the money out.
Anyway that’s my new theory.
