Was out for a couple weeks. Did my monthly investment xls and we are up 12% total so far. We continued 401k contributions all year and didn't sell any big positions (other than a smaller chunk in anticipation of college fees).
No surprise in retrospect, the thing I've noticed is my tech stocks (Apple, Amazon and lesser degree Google) have exceeded the market. My mutual funds/ETF that have more tech stocks have also exceeded the market. My other mutual funds/ETF (primarily dividend growth players) that are based off S&P and broader market are, of course, close to market returns.
Lessons learn this year is don't try to time the market, continue contributions, and get lucky with industry (tech).
