I don’t very often look at my 401(k) online. It’s been a rather depressing muddle for a while, but I decided to look tonight.
It seemed to have gone up more than I expected, so I took a look at my rate of return.
Month Ending Rate of Return (%)
June, 2009 0.44%
May, 2009 4.63%
April, 2009 9.51%
March, 2009 6.29%
February, 2009 -8.38%
January, 2009 -7.16%
December, 2008 3.60%
November, 2008 -5.95%
October, 2008 -15.05%
September, 2008 -7.92%
August, 2008 0.95%
Yeah, nothing too shocking there, until you look at July:
July, 2009 6.66%
6 point 6 6 percent!
My retirement account is possessed by Satan, and I’m fairly certain this is a Demo(n)crat plot to make me have an interest in Old Scratch’s interest.
They thought they could keep this hidden, but the power of the internets compels them out into the light!
I get it! The Demo(n)crats want to euthanize your soul.
