<prompt> Human: Ive maxed a Roth Ira for 2017 as well as 2018 so a total of 11k invested between the schwab international index fund swisx the schwab total stock market swtsx and swagx for some bonds. 2k 7k and 2k respectively. The bonds really werent a great idea as they have done nothing so far but thats what I get for following a three fund lazy portfolio. I didnt expect myself to want to be so involved. Ive checked my balances at least once a week and in the last six months my portfolio has earned 200 dollars. How do I compare with other portfolios and know if I am doing OK or if Im really behind on net gain? Are there different funds I should be looking at as low cost schwab funds?  <response>: Why are you checking your portfolio so often if you arent following stock market news and the overall market as well? Youre creating unnecessary stress. I invested early in January, and Im currently down 140 in the 11,000 I put in. The market has not been good recently due to a variety of controversies and market reactions. Your portfolio looks fine, although depending on your age 19 bonds is a bit overly conservative.Stop checking it so often!
