I don't have the breakdown handy, but my overall was 20.78% - by far the best year I've had. It wasn't formerly devalued stuff coming back either - last year I totally revamped my portfolio.

FIDO 401K says...
"Personal Rate of Return from 01/01/2006 to 12/28/2006 is 18.9%"

ps
let's not forget folks, however, that these are very abnormal gains and rainy days will cometh again -- just like they did in 2002.  so plan for rain, we are starting to deserve it!

Ya'll are killing me, I only managed a 13.3%.

Oh well, there's always next year.

I wish my company had a mid cap offering and a REIT. Hell I can't identify half of mine because they are special "institutional" offerings.

For my first full year in a 401k, Fidelity says 19.9%.  


Getting such a great return is kinda scary.  I'm about 97% in equities, which I assume means stocks.  I should probably put some more into bonds/cash, but it just seems crazy to turn down that 19.9%.  Those of you seeing conservative returns will probably be sitting back relaxing when the rest of us are crying about our losses when the market declines next.  That's the game we play.

9.6% for me.  TSP folks screwed up my fund when I was in the sand pit so I got hosed.  

IRA was 15.8%.

12.7% overall.

IRA has been up and down the last 3 years.  Re did it after I figured out I need foreign stocks in my IRA.

2002 I made 24.6% in my IRA.  Dont know how that happened.

NOt sure about the entire year returns but my folks are up 9% after 6 months w/ their next egg money they put aside after they sold their company.  

I'd be happy with a 12 percent average honestly.... what usually wins in a race, the turtle or the hare?
