What kind of sum? Were you doing dollar-cost averaging?

This kind of shit stressed me out so much to "track" I gave up entirely. Not like I'm ever pulling it out anyway.

I felt the same way so I just started investing a litte each month instead

That way it all kind of averages out instead of trying to time the market
