    TOO FUNNY...over my 20+ years of gubmnt service I have gone from overly eager to a hard worker to experienced guy to disgruntled fed who still knows the answers to about anything...and, as of 2 weeks ago, was laughingly described as the "crusty old f#$k" of the office...now you verify it.

    Thanks man! After the week I've had I needed that laugh!

    FEBRUARY: It's Report Card Time, 2.71% YTD, 4.37% MTD

    Plan was executed precisely, but the markets exceeded expectations, therefore I lost the edge I had from January. I'm currently outperforming G/F/C and need to catch up to the S-Fund. Still, it was a great month, where even blindfolded dart-throwing monkeys made money. I'm down 2.29% from my 2.50% monthly goal, which means I need to make 4.79% in March to meet my 30% yearly goal.

    Looks like we're neck and neck buddy. I'm right behind you at 2.70% YTD, and 4.38% MTD. Riding a different horse than you, tho. I'm not at all satisfied with my performance this year, but the reasoning behind my moves have been sound. It's a marathon, and a lot can (and will) happen between now and the end of the year.

    Good luck!

    Competition has been getting better over the past few years, this post-2009 forum is much smarter, they don't scare out so easy on the tops. We need a deep cut to shake out the buy & holders...

    might be a stupid question but how did you calculate YTD and MTD?
