Valuation

In 2007, the ASX 200 was much higher at just under 7000. Today it is under 5000. Some of my stocks have disappeared from the face of the earth, some are worth less than toilet paper and I have got rid of some which were still worth something after commission.

But today, I am finally worth more than in 2007. The worst was in June 2009 when my value was massacred. But luckily, I continued to invest through the trough. Some of my best performing stocks were bought during this time, as well as during the Greek crisis. The stocks purchased in Sept/Oct 2010 did very well, too.
