Thread: Long Term Tally

The Long Term Tally as of 20 July 2007.

The 2 year Long Term Tally chart is looking more and more like a normal distribution. Congrats to the leaders.

The Long Term Two and Three Year Tallies as of 27 July 2007.

The Long Term Tally for 3 Aug 2007.

The Long Term Tally for 10 Aug 2007.

The Long Term Tally for 17 Aug 2007.

These will be my last Tallies. I've learned what I set out to learn - buy and hold asset allocation works in both up and down markets.

Although my returns were always only slightly above average, they were never way below average. In addition, over the long term, i.e. three years, my strategy did well (most of the other TSPers stopped posting) - particularly on a risk adjusted basis. However, that's another chart!

I wish you all the best in your investing and in your careers.----Jim

Jim: These may be your last tallies, but you intend to hang around and be part of the discussions, right?

Guess I haven't said much in this thread....(nothing in fact)....but I enjoyed looking at the "long term" results. Thanks!

Don't know how difficult it would be, but if its possible to do a yearly update...say after the first of every year...it would prove illuminating.

(Of course, it may be too tough to recreate it on a whim....In which case, forget I said anything. )

I can only echo what Gilligan said. Your tallies were the first thing I looked for on Saturday's, they're going to be missed. Thanks for sharing your time.
