Post Your "12-Month Personal Rate of Return"
- Thread starter Rogue
- Start date
Yep, I looks to me that June hasn't closed out yet. I wonder if the formula for personal rate of return is exactly the same as the PIP or personal investment performance figures that are generated for the annual statements.
I have a a PRR of 29.1% for last 12 mo. and a 20.98% PIP for 2010! However, this second quarter just ended, has been very rough for me.

13.27%. Gotta look in to how they figure that. Must be 6/1 to 6/1? Makes me feel good though.
I wasn't talking a huge game. I was posting my returns, which are fact. I believe posting returns is the suject of this thread. I never said anything negative about anyone and never said anything great about myself.
Ok, you noticed that I only posted back to 2009. In 2008, I stayed in most of the year and finished -32.62%. I don't know how Poolman did what he did in 2008. He is the man for posting strong gains that year.

Well Mark c if JTH verified it I will digress and say you must have some very very good luck. However I am still a skeptic, I have seen so many people come on here and talk up such a huge game then *poof* their gone just as fast. As in real life people who talk that big are 90% of the time doing just that, talking. I personally am the type, that when I show up I like to show up real quietly then slowly start proving myself by my actions, then I'll open my mouth, but not before I've proven myself though. I look forward to being able watch you progress on the tracker so I can see and more importantly learn from your strategy.

Good question. Don't be embarrassed. Most of us freely admit we felt pain that year.

Congratulations on the great returns. One question, what was you're return in 2008?
Thank you JTH, I knew people would not believe me and I did not want people to ignore my advice because they thought I was lying. Obviously, luck does play a role in this, as every IFT is just an educated guess. I have always made IFTs, but I work a late shift and I would normally read the news at work and my arrival time was after the IFT deadline (10am for MST), so I would often miss opportunities. I bought a smart phone (Droid) in April of 2010 and started to make a practice of reading the financial news when I first wake up. That has allowed me to gage the market with the opportunity to make an IFT if the conditions are right. I sometimes can’t sleep late anymore because I’m excited to see what the market is doing each morning.

I've verified Mark's 12-Month Personal Rate of Return and it is indeed 48.12%. I was also able to verify the integrity of the entire file had not been compromised, don't ask me how I know, I won't tell you. That means he didn't just cut and paste his return, it's legit. Anyways, Mark I look forward to your incites, please do feel free to provide them for the benefit of all, and welcome to the team.

Mark, you don't have to send anything to prove what you already know to be true. My point was directed at the forum as a whole. You've already joined the tracker, this will be the measure of performance most here will hold to be true because it's something we all equally can verify with each other.
