1. Never said I put it in cash. Dishonest
2. Now cash is paying negative returns in your argument? Dishonest and stupid.
Anyone out there who is honest and can think just a bit?

Can you show me somewhere USD cash can get me a real return?
The widely accepted financial definition of nominal return minus inflation, of course. My liquid cash balance is earning about 0.5% and inflation stands at 1.5% right now.

Why refer to nominal instead of effective in your equation?
I spoke carelessly but the difference between nominal and effective rate compounding daily at 0.5% is miniscule, about 0.003% I believe

No, once again you spoke dishonestly. Insisting non -equity investment returns be discounted by investment in comparing them to equity returns that are not

That's what I suspected.
It seems inappropriate to insist K5 subtract inflation from his returns, when he was comparing it to the returns agip posted, which had not subtracted inflation. Doncha think?
I am half sure that all this ping pong 'you, no you' 'debating'is one guy with a serious sociopathic problem.
How is all this worth your time? Anyone?
I love a good grammar argument, or something with some beef to it... but this is just useless.
If someone misrepresents you, just walk on. K5 misrepresents me all the time - frankly I couldn't care less. In fact, a disagreement from k5 is almost a guarantee that you are right. I think of it as the godwin's law of lrc.
He will now, for some reason unclear to anyone but him, cut and paste from stormfront or prison planet some anti-jewish propaganda, and I am ready for that. And I will ignore it.
Care to keep it on topic gents?
and yes, I understand that there are multiple k5s and multiple bigfoots and god knows what else.

No need to do so. You consistently make a fool of yourself; I merely help point it out.
For example, "a serious sociopathic problem". Is that really how we refer to sociopaths in English? Only in AgipLand, where the sh&t gets piled on in an attempt to appear intelligent, accomplishing just the opposite.
Whiny defenders of Apartheid, your day is ending

here are the end of January numbers:
From the start of the thread on 8/27:
Dow Jones Industrials: +7.1% including divs
Vanguard Total World Stock Index: +8.2% incl divs
From Dow 15,000:
Dow + around 5.7% incl divs, but that is approximate. 4.7% without the dividends.
So the bears got something back in January, but K5's bet is still substantially in the red.
Market has been volatile and we havn't had a real drop for a long long time. Keep in mind that the average drop in any calendar year is 14%.

Yes, it is all one guy. It is the fellow who claimed to be using 'poto' as a handle but apparently is incapable of having his own words attributed to him rather than someone else.
How is it worth his time? Good question. It appears that his time is not worth very much.
