While Markets Tumbled In The Summer, Many Savers Held Tight

edited November 2015 in Fund Discussions
FYI: When fear was pumping through the stock market this summer, most retirement savers kept their cool.

So say figures from Fidelity, which could see how individual investors in general behaved by looking at its 13.5 million 401(k) and 6 million IRA accounts as stocks tumbled in New York, Shanghai and places in between during the turbulent third quarter. The Standard & Poor's 500 index sank more than 10 percent within a week during August, driving the index to its worst quarter in four years.

    Good to see you again. And your YTD result is impressive indeed. No foreign and bond exposures?
