How significant is a 6% loss in 3 months?

All's well that ends well.

If I ever wanted to be a playwright I think that would make a great title

I think I've heard it before.

Is a 6% loss in 3 months something people should panic about?

Not my portfolio, someone else's.

From what I gather, he bought into fundamentally good stocks at good discounts to valuations then got smacked because they were so overbought.

He's one of those old guys that believes technicals are nonsense, although I did warn him that what he was buying was grossly overbought.

sorry if I am late to the party on this one

its all about relativity and benchmarking

a 6% portfolio loss can only be taken in the context of prevailing market average for the same period

Relativity is key to trading and investing

It shows your good performance in trading it is not bad if you loose just 6% in 3 months . People blow up their accounts in some days. I think you had collect some profit too , if you not take suffice=ient profit ,do not worry you are doing positive trading with low loss.
