401k Matchup Closer Than Expected

On March 7th, we started tracking how well our own
individual investments were
producing, in comparison to those
selected by a "professional" running our 401k,
through Fidelity. What we've seen is that while my
peaks have been higher than those of the fund, the
valleys are of course, lower, and with the 401k
slowly trending flat to slightly up, a true
measure of my progress vs. the 401k is instead
just how many up days I have versus down days. If
I'm up, I'm up higher than the 401k, and if I'm
down, I'm down more than the 401k. It's that
simple. It's rare that I would go one direction
and the market another. So... a few weeks into our
little unqualified, unsanctioned, nobody wins
anything contest, the current standings are eight
to seven, with my pulling ahead today at the end
of market close. We'll keep watching.
