You gonna thank Obama? It's, for sure, something he absolutely has seen to, the rebound of the stock market. Him, Tim and Ben.

That's excellent. Mine is about 5% overall, but I've chosen to take less risky investments because I'll be retiring soon.
But with as much as I have in the 401k, 5% is still a bunch of money.

No because Obama had nothing to do with it.
I reduced my risk somewhat about 5 years ago but bumped it back up last year.

PM me the funds you invest in.
I may not be doing a smart thing, but I am investing in slightly high risk.
My fund follows the S&P.
At my age I should probably start a safer bet.

12.18% according to my March 2013 statement. I only get a statement every 3 months and I have a mixed bag... small cap, international stocks, mid cap stocks, large cap stocks, balanced, bonds (PIMCO) and asset allocation.
I need to change a few things I see and your thread made me realize that. I have been investing in Barclays Capital Govt. Bonds with 2.26% return and also Citigroups T-Bills at .08% return - that is pretty pitiful. CRSP US Small Cap Index has done well at 22.85% as has their large cap index at 17.85%.

Same here and I think we're close in age. I'm contemplating going higher in risk. I want to retire in 10 or less years.

You are like Vrai's age.

You are stunningly wrong about that.
The one thing Obama decided he MUST have is a rebound to the stock market with the knowledge that, whatever resistance he faced on whatever issues, at the end of the day, or each statement, individual investors, as well as institutional investors as well as the 'big' money people would be somewhat subdued in their resistance simply because they were doing better.
This is why he insisted Geithner be on board. This is why he's been behind Bernanke every step of the way.
Now, we can look at the market for what it is; artificial, and we can debate how much risk the whole mess is and we can come to grips with the reality that only because of the Fed endlessly propping the thing up is it doing well, but, the fact remains your, most everyones investments have rebounded BECAUSE of the decisions President Obama has made.
You ought to at least know that if not acknowledge it.
