FYI - 88x over 40 years is 11.8% annual rate of return
(compounded).
Does that return include dividends re-invested? I'm
guessing that it doesn't, or maybe I'm not fully understanding how
this would work. I.e. if you're short you have to pay the
dividend, so it all balances out.
Another thing is that if this is really intended for 401k
accounts, then we would have to figure out a way to go short
without actually shorting, e.g. buy SH.
twins - lol isn't that about what Madoff's fund said it returned
per year, I think Madoff's fund said it returned 10% a year?
lol, so call it the Madoff long term system...well slightly better
since mine did over 11%
but yes you are correct, that's 11.8% per year average.
