Year To date -4%

Year to date my total portfolio is down -4%  as opposed to my contest portfolio being down -9%.   However, that would include contributions which would distort things to the positive side by 1% per quarter.  So I'm roughly down -5% once contributions are extracted.  still much better than my contest portfolio which is a group of funds I selected because they are supposed to do better in a recession historically! So much for my market timing.  Even when I can pick a recession I can pick what will do best in the recession.

 

My real live portfolio is made up of a buy and hold index funds domestic and foreign, Bonds, and a small percentage in Gold and Real estate.   The rising gold was pretty much offset by falling real estate but the account that holds those two is up a bit so I've made more than I've lost there.  It seems like every time real estate does well, gold falls down and visa versa so they seem to offset each other at this time.
