I'm not sure I agree. +/- 5% specifically in the economy we have been experiencing is very much expected, from say late '07 till maybe early summer this year. Same fluctuation can be found in peoples retirement funds, many with 35% or larger lossesd. I for one came in -17% last year in my 401K and right now, today, am at 22.2%...That's a huge swing.
