Tally February 06

[mlk_man]

Fundsurfer discovered the discrepency in the tracker and it has been corrected. Apparentlly I was a little slow to realize that this is 2006 and not 2005...........:blink: I even had 2004 on one of the sheets............:nuts:

Thanks Fundsurfer!

Re: Feb 2006 Tally Analysis - Errata

Incidentally, I'd like to add my thanks to MM for the great job he did with the Tally. Considering the large number of posters and moves, his weekly publishing of it was nothing short of amazing.

Agreed. Thanks Mlk. And Pyriel and you too Rokid. And Fundsurfer (and anyone I may have left out). I enjoy going over this stuff except it gives me SSE (spread sheet envy) because I don't know how to do any of it. When I joined this site forever ago, Tom had to return about 11 of my e-mails just to teach me how to use the tracker for myself.

Re: Feb 2006 Tally Analysis - Errata

Another look at the Feb 2006 Tally YTD.

Multi-fund diversified; 6% of participants; 4.13% YTD average return

Single-fund swing trade; 8% of participants; 2.74% YTD average return

Multi-fund swing trade; 82% of participants; 2.37% YTD average return

Single-fund concentrated; 4% of participants; 2.15% YTD average return

The attached shows returns by individual and includes investment style and number of moves to date.

I took another look at the Feb 2006 Tally. Six of the posters had incorrect tallies (too low) for Jan. Specifically, Teckno, Mailman636, Phragmanic, Macdtrader, Ocean, and Nnut. MM confirmed that some of the Jan tallies had been incorrectly posted.

Therefore, attached is a new Feb 2006 Tally Analysis. Teckno, Mailman636, and Phragmaniac are now in the top 12 of all posters. Finally, the average return of multi-fund swing traders has increased from 2.37% to 2.52%.

Incidentally, I'd like to add my thanks to MM for the great job he did with the Tally. Considering the large number of posters and moves, his weekly publishing of it was nothing short of amazing.

LOL, that's cute!!

 

[grandma]

...will you be able to get lost in the crowd???

... send them a pic of myself in a thong every Xmas.

 

[mlk_man]

The results are posted at the end of every month. If I could post a 6 MB file here I would.

I also like having everyone's e-mail address. That way I can send them a pic of myself in a thong every Xmas.

 

[sugarandspice]

Why the mystery? Why not just post it here?

 

[mlk_man]

Sent it out Sat night...............

 

[sugarandspice]

No tracker for last week?

 

[mlk_man]

3 moves.

 

[FundSurfer]

Not bad at all...

...RevShark's return for Feb was 1.12%.

At that amount, he did better than 87.5% of people posting their moves.

Milk_man, how often did Sharky make moves?

I'm big on long term performance. As we all know, anybody can have a good month. Having a good 6 months or year is another story. Sharky is a professional and I would expect him to do well better than average, which he has done.

 

[mlk_man]

Just to let everyone know, RevShark's return for Feb was 1.12%. This is how he currently sits versus the five funds as of COB Friday March 3rd.

vs G Fund = 0.71%
vs F Fund = 1.25%
vs C Fund = 0.64%
vs S Fund = 0.66%
vs I Fund = 1.01%
vs Div. Acct (20% each) = 0.86%

Not too shabby..........but I'm gonna get em...........

Birch,

I'm only including TSPers that started at the beginning of the year - to get an entire year of returns for each. The Wizard started on the 10th of Jan. However, he is in MM's spreadsheet.

 

[Birchtree]

Excellent

Rokid,

Excellent job - this turtle will just keep moving forward. However, where is that wiley Wizard - don't tell me he is all yak and no walk. Reminds me of the Wizard Principle - when one rises to the level of their incompetence. I thought all this time he was in the choir - heck he might not even be in the building. Sorry buddy.

Interesting Rokid!

Good job with putting that together!

See attached document for full listing with more columns of data. Above are just a couple categories I separated out. Note that I only included a listing only once. Cowboy, for example, would have made all three list.

Thanks to Milk_man for entering the data for us. If you think there is a discrepancy in your number, contact milk_man for a copy of the spreadsheet to check your sheet for input errors, they do occur, especially when you are tracking this many people.

Note: These numbers have had the effects of compounding removed in order that someone who just started would be compared equally to someone who has been posting for a long time. If you are using Tom's spreadsheet, you will see a slight difference because of the compounding.
