    You should know better than that. Let's hope it doesn't lose 6% again, or 10%. You know how much grief I get and I haven't lost anything............yet............ At least you would have 500 surveyees to blame!!

    You can always say you modified it and then backtested it and if you would have had it in place you would have made x percent. I have read that in the premium pages a few times! Just sayin...

    That's what I'm saying too....what can it hurt to backtest it?

    I think you set yourself up for the grief you get, IT. Your returns are great, but you build up people's expectation to get even more, so they become disapointed. You kept talking 24% during the 1st year of your premium service. If you hadn't done that, your wouldn't have disappointed so many folks. Your returns speak for themselves, don't shoot yourself in the foot.

    True, but that is still "one" of my goals.

    faulting IT for being upfront, open, and honest? Got to love the logic there.

    OK, we're getting off topic so I assume we're done with this discussion. I'll close the thread. Thanks for everyone's input.
