Hottest new game show

There's a new game that is taking America by storm called, How much can I lose in my 401k?

Seeing the Dow Jones Industrial Average go below 9,000 yesterday (and continue to fall today) to over a 5 year low made me look to see where I was in this hottest new game show.

I'm not sure if I'm winning or losing, but my Personal Rate of Return from 01/01/2008 to 10/09/2008 is -39.2%.

One of my co-workers tells me to look on the bright side of things. I guess the bright side is I still have 60.8% of my 401k still left.

I'm not sure there is much I can do at this point but ride out the storm and hope it bottoms out soon.
