For the period 01/10/08 through 03/21/08 mine lost $698.07. 99% of the available fund options lost money. The T. Rowe Price Growth Stock fund lost 12.39%. The highest return was 2.56% for something called the AIM Limited Maturity Treasury fund. Quoting from the "Your Financial Journey" section of the statement: "It takes patience and discipline to achieve your goals. Stay on the road and stick with your road map." My only "goal" is not to lose money. But I have little or no "control" over how the markets behave. What I do have is my vote, and I can only hope that whomever I chose in the next election can somehow help me (us) not lose money. I'm not getting any younger.
