-60% IRA.. just think for those who regularly invest in IRA/RIRA/401k.
when the economy picks back up like it did in 2003.. your investments will seem like they got Warp drives

Not expecting the market to pick itself up for a very long time. I don't even want to mention the level of regret I have for not holding SKF when I knew********************************************** ************************************************** **** I should have. Lesson learned. Fortunately I get back at the market trading at work, I had my best day today trading ABX (aka going long and just watching the $$$) and POT/MOS/MON.

Too lazy to figure out my overall portfolio losses at the moment, but here are some examples of my big losers:
Bought C @ 24.04 (84% loss)
Bought NT @ 26.95 (98% loss)
Fortunately, those aren't my only investments, but I'm pretty sure I'm down >50% overall.

well I'm out -15% for the year so far. Not bad but then again I only opened my etrade account like 2 months ago 
I'm just glad I didn't buy aapl super high a while ago so I am gonna make some good money on that(hopefully) later down the road. I got it for 100 clams even. Looking to buy some more if it dips below $80.
