well, its possible that what you may have invested in did very poorly, I don't know. I believe that I was pretty thorough in diversifying. When I only look at 2008 to present annualized rate of return, I basically broke even at about +0.6%. The company I work for is very big and can negotiate low fees though, so maybe closer to retail I would have lost money, but not as much as you did.
EJ and UBS. We were doing about 12% a year but that wasn't nearly enough to get back to even after more than four years. And I am unwilling to continue in this extremely volatile market.

Again, good luck!
