    My retirement plan is set at 8% as my goal for 2015.

    I'm swinging for the 12% fence!!! Push It .... Pu-Push it real good!

    It depends what kind of year we have. I'll be happy with a gain of 5% if the indices are down 5%.

    My real goal is to follow my system as closely as possible, which for some reason is tough to do. I tried in 2014 but still couldn't match it. We're our own worst enemies.

    Want to see something sickening?

    Put me down at 13.5 percent. I see me having to claw to get there this year. This is the year the market takes back some of those easy profits. Let us hope we don't get routed.

    Tom, those return comparisons probably make you want to kick yourself in the butt!! Do you know how many times I've said, "Dam***T I knew better than that!!! You are exactly right, sometimes we are our own worst enemy. The glass half full side of me says a better than 9.5% avg. return over 3 years, "Not too Shabby" !!


    The only way you lose is if you quit playing!!! Here's wishing you a Grand 2015!!

    What say you?
    Crap, 2 days in and my daily average is -1.76% at this rate of return, I'll finish the year with -443.52%

    I need to start drinking again...

    Yep, that wasn't a good start for the new year. I'm going to start wearing my shades again. Couldn't hurt.

    The bad part is that, unless I'm mistaken, you wrote that historically the market does not go well in the first 2 weeks. We are our own worst enemy.
    In Dog Beers I've only had two.
