I am a whole 0.8% up and am well behind the indices... however, I am still a believer in MFI. We'll see how things look a year from now, I have trailed the indices before. I guess I don't have much else to say. My commodity stocks took a huge hit this week as fears that global growth would slow. So for history, my graph and individual stock performance are listed below. I sincerely hope this is the low water mark for both.
Then here is my list of current holdings:

I feel your pain! Please make it stop! When I make a quick MSExcel chart for my gain/loss, it looks nearly identical to yours. Fortunately for me, I don't have as much at stake as you so the scale is much less. The last few weeks have been brutal.
31-Jul-07 IRR = 8.5% from start
Russell 2500 = 7.2%
17-Aug-07 IRR = -2.8% from start
Russel 2500 = 6.0%
YTD IRR = -5.3%
Russel 2500 = 1.1%
My start date for initial purchases was 02-Feb-06. I make my picks randomly from the top 50 over $50 million. I compare my returns to the Russell 2500 because it is composed of small to mid-cap stocks, which is mainly what I hold in my MFI account.
This is not too good so far, but what can you do but grin and bear it? I plan stay the course for the next few years?
Keep up the good work on your blog.
cheers,
