Well I was up 13% in my taxable brokerage account.
I averaged 13.07 in my IRA. And my wifes IRA was 3.66%. (this is with 4 differenct Janus funds 2 for me and 2 for her)
Wow, the pro's didn't even come close to my return or the S&P which as listed on the Vanguard site has a YTD return of 10.74%.
I would like to congratulate Pablo on a job well done. I know in your tax sheltered accounts you don't have any capital gains so that's all pure return.
On my brokerage account, I'll have to pay gains on some of that since I did do some buying and selling. I dont' think much though. I figured about $520 in gains which worked out to 2% of my total gain so that would be approximately 11% for the year. Still beating the S&P which will have capital gains as well (though not as much since it's an index)
