    Below is an eyeful of information.  Listed are each fund's price, returns, my allocation in the fund and totals.
    In addition, I listed my transactions, and a comparison of my return versus each fund.
    It can be confusing.  

    You can find a blank spreadsheet on the Financial Utilities page to monitor your own returns.
    Email me if you have a question on how to fill it out or need more information about the data below.
