About 6 months again, I opened a Roth IRA with T Rowe Price. I started out with only $1200, which is better than nothing. About 2 months ago, I received an update with what my money is doing as far as growth, and it LOST $32. My money when from $1200 to $1168 in 4 months. I have my money in the most secure fund possible, but still risky, the have it called Capital Appreciation Fund.
They showed me statistics and such, and that particular fund has NEVER ended a year with a negative interest rate. For instance, every year, the APR has been .01% and above, varying from 2% - 13% annually.
Should I trust the market to turn around? Should I not add any more money until I see growth? Any other suggestions?
All help is appreciated.
