Times are tough all over

So is anyone else willing to admit that they rode this market down? We've got a couple Dwellars who say they saw this months ago and got out before the crash. I remember a thread back a few months ago where lookout asked if we were positioned where we should be. I don't know if that was supposed to be a subtle warning, but I ended up taking a long view after reading that thread and staying in the stock market.

So did you all get out months ago? Or don't any of you have 401ks?

I know it's tacky to talk about personal money, and I'm not asking for any details, but is anyone else wincing when they look at their 401k accounts? Or am I the only dummy?

My 401k is down 31% from one year ago, and I've been pumping money regularly into it for that entire year, so when you consider that, it's even worse.
