Guess my 401(k)Follow

I have the envelope with my latest 401(k) statement here on my desk, unopened. Whoever guesses closest to its percentage change from last quarter wins... ummm...

Hmmm...

You can pick my signature and avatar for a day (October 30th). Going over isn't a problem but, in the event of a tie, the person who was closest without going over wins.

Guessing ends at midnight tonight, central time.

Mine was down 3.1%

But I have very little in it. Which might actually be a good thing right now.

Hmmm... mine was down 21.9% YTD, but I didn't see what the change was since last quarter. I'm going to guess 18.6.
