10/7    So the value of my aggregate retirement accounts is at an all
        time high. How are the rest of you doing, did you ride out the market?
        \_ I haven't checked after this week's activity yet, but I'm probably
           down about 20% from my peak.  Still happy with pretty much
           everything I own.  -tom
           \_ I am about the same, A little over 20% down from my peak,
              However, I am not happy with everything I own.  Tom, what
              are you holding these days?  Any inflation hedges? -crebbs
              \_ I've put a fair amount of money into overseas stocks;
                 doing quite well with EWZ (Brazil index).  That's a dollar
                 inflation hedge, though not a world inflation hedge.
                 HRP has been doing very well, and my long-term big holdings
                 as well (AAPL, AMZN, GOOG).  I really haven't bought or
                 sold anything of significance.  -tom
                 \_ Yeah I have some CH (chile) which  has done o.k. for similar
                    reasoning to your EWZ.  I foolishly sold my HRP. -crebbs
                    \_ Just checked: I'm down about 19%.  -tom
                 \_ You know that EWZ is 23% PBR and 15% VALE, right? -ausman
