Last I checked, I was down -26.59% YTD. After this past week, I am guessing it has dropped a lot more.

edit:
I got curious.. and I was right, it's -28.78% YTD now.

Hang in there. You haven't lost anything until you let it go at that poor price.

WTF why did I click on this thread. Why did I login and check. My day is ruined.

So now that I logged in and the topic has been raised, should I leave it all in stocks as it is now, or move some to Money Market?

I'm -33.5%. And, as said before, unless you move the existing funds you have you don't realize these losses. Everybody is taking a hit in the market now. If you'd like, you can change your FUTURE contributions, but do not move anything you've already purchased!
