Truthfully, I thought about pulling back to the G Fund a dozen times, but I managed to pack up my password info in a box during my PCS move to Germany back in April. Getting a new one was on my to-do list, but I never got around to it until last week. Worked out well.

Could of been better after getting 23% return last year but luv having double digit returns. Good luck in 2014 everyone!

Best ever, still seems inadequate compared to what some of y'all did in 2013, but I have to be happy with it.
In fact if I ever complain about >15%, someone please punch me.
I was once told that a person should expect to earn better than 8% in investments and consider it successful.
Seems kind of modest, what do y'all think is a reasonable expectation?

Bernie Madoff promised his clients 12%. He could've just done what a few people here are doing, actually been legal, and kept everything above 12% for himself and still be living the good life today.

Out of the 800 msgs on this thread I wonder what the highest PIP posted ever was. I saw remark at some point last year had over 40%. Maybe the highest occurred in 2009. I might go looking.

Ooops, I now see that this thread started at the end of 2010.

I started by using a method of placing all the funds in the historic 2 week average max return fund, and then over the course of the year adopted the stochastic oscillator determine where/when to place a trade. Still not satisfied with any methodology - I think there's no perfect method of allocating funds. I do like the sharpe methodology though.

My AT for 2013 was 17.29%. They are pretty close and my PIP is actually higher than my AT. I think difference is from the allocations. I had mine going 50:50 I & S all year. They will get moved in with the rest @ every IFT of course.

Cactus,

You are going to like this... Your PIP is a CAGR, not an annual return. Thus, it really is an estimate based on a formula. For all the reasons you noted in your thread this is a better measure of performance than a simple 'What I got Now'/'What I had Then'...

My AutoTracker numbers for CY2013 are lower. I forgot to post a trade on 2013/10/15 to 30/0/30/15/25. That accounted for most of the difference. I found that issue in mid-December, but figured a correction (if even possible) would not bump me the 400 AutoTracker spots necessary to make a difference. But it would put me in the bottom of the 2nd Quintile...

Your Personal Investment Performance (PIP) for the past 12 months ending 12/31/2013 is 14.94%.

That's up from 9.7% a month ago, but there's still room to improve. December was good, over 5.25% better than last year so that explains the jump.

Interesting how the PIP is lower than the AT, but I'm sure the calculations are quite a bit different.

The tracker and my spreadsheet had me at 37.08%. That's close enough for government work.

I guess its better than nothing considering I was making IFTs all year, should have just stayed all in... maybe the traders will have 40% this year and all the BS and B&H will have the 10% year...

Hey, I can hope can't I...
