403b Report 10/30/09

October 30th, 2009 | No Comments | Filed in 403b

The market was finally up yesterday after a four day decline. My account was down $202.80 as a result of that 4 day skid but recovered a bit thanks to the market’s 200 point day. We have about two more months to go this year and I am still hoping to end the year above the five thousand dollar mark. I will see you in a couple of weeks, in the meantime, enjoy the report.

New Fund?

October 28th, 2009 | No Comments | Filed in 403b

If you have been a reader from the very beginning then you know that I put $100 dollars into my 403b every month. I can’t buy individual stocks only funds, mine is the Dimensional Emerging Markets Portfolio (DFEMX) fund. Last year I lost money but this year has been a pretty good one.

Thing is, my $100 dollars can only buy 3+ something shares a month now because the price is up, the price as I write this is $26.26 a share, I currently own 127.218 shares. So I have been thinking that maybe now is a good time to put those $100 dollars into another fund. I am going to start doing my research and whatever happens you will know about it.

The first 403b Report of October is finally here and it looks like a good one compared to the last one. My account was up $288.21 and with two and a half months to go this 2009 finishing the year over the five thousand mark would be great news. As usual, if you see any obvious math errors don’t forget to let me know, I do my best to check everything when I am writing the report but mistakes do happen, enjoy the report.

403b Report 10/02/09

October 2nd, 2009 | No Comments | Filed in 403b

Three paychecks last month equals three 403b reports, this one being the last of the bunch. September was quite good for all my investments if I remember correctly but we started October on a down note but have no fear, the market will get back on the right direction sooner or later. My account was down $83.79 and still holding over the four thousand dollar mark which is good but it better get to work if it wants to cross the five thousand mark before the year ends. In the meantime, here is the report.
