I expect 2 more weeks of a down market till my portfolio starts hitting homeruns. I finally calculated how much money I needed to achieve a 20% return on my mutual fund portfolio and 22% on my stock portfolio. It took me a while because I added money into both portfolios which makes it harder to calculate a needed return.
Mutual fund balance January 1st, 2006 $9548.45
Needed money to return 20% – $11,458.14
So I need another $972.68
Stock Performance balance January 1st, 2006 $2042.78
Needed money to return 22% – 2492.19
So I need another $258.38
