To whom it may concern,

The name at the top of this list has GOT to be wrong. This kind of information will not only discredit this list but may sway people into thinking that this is some kind of spoof site. I think that name at the top should be masked or deleted in order to maintain credibility. Perhaps even banned altogether from the entire site should be an option. Just my two cents.

I haven't.................

Yes, Mlk, your trackers are being read - I suppose most of us figure someone has already advised you of any problems...


....don't want to swamp Your mailbox, either!

BTW...has anyone seen/heard from PuertoRico recently??

 

[mlk_man]

BTW, several of you are over your e-mail quotas and the tracker is being returned. The tracker is over 5MB so if you have a small e-mail capacity, you may want to sign up for a free e-mail with yahoo or hotmail.

I just sent out the weekly tracker with the new allocations for each L fund and also included the monthly totals for everyone.

Sorry Fundsurfer, forgot to do that this time so I guess it meant more work for you....................:blink:

Happy returns,

M_M

I've found to make it look pretty you need to put it within "code" brackets.

Sounds like a consensus. Include top performers and don't worry about multiple listings.

I'm thinking that a standard listing might look like:

Top 5 for the month, Top 5 for the preceding 3 months, Top 5 for the year, and Top 10 for the previous 12 months.

I'm listing 10 for the prior 12 months because this seems to me to be a more useful list than the others. Opinions? I'm thinking that this would be the maximum number of list I'd like to do, if you'd like to see an additional list suggest which of the list I've suggested that you would delete.

I have not landed on a format for the Tally that I'm totally happy with. I'm always open to suggestions.

Hi Fundsurfer,

First, thanks for all the work you put into this. It must be a beast to maintain.

I have a suggestion, since you asked. Overall I think this is a great presentation of a lot of data. But, I wonder if the policy of showing people only once is the best way to display the results? It would be simpler for you, and perhaps more informative for others, to just show the top performers for each time range. It would make the "top performers" tag easier to interpret. For example, I may ask "who did best in March?" Quickly glancing at your summary, I may miss that ShowMe had the 2nd best March, unless I carefully examine the table above it and note he was excluded from the "Top of March"
list because he was already on "Top 12 Months" list.

As a user, I am not sure what the advantage is to limiting each TSPer to only one "top performer" table.

Just food for thought. Thanks again for keeping up with this.

Yes, I should have mentioned that I only listed people once in order to show more people. It is top down. If they were listed in an upper table they were not available for a lower listing. Since I'm attaching the whole list, I should probably list just the top five in several categories and be done with it. I have not landed on a format for the Tally that I'm totally happy with. I'm always open to suggestions.

OK,
I just read your reply to Wheels. I guess I should ask questions first before I shoot.

 

[mlk_man]

Look at the 6-month return. I'm even beating the "trading goddess"!!!!! LOL

 

[Gilligan]

FundSurfer,
To me it looks like SHOW-ME should be #2 for the "Leaders for March" with a 3.95% return and bump me down. I do appreciate the work and time that you and M_M put in to make this happen.

I notice Andy is listed on the quarter leaders and that his March total is 3.58% but then he is not listed amongst the March leaders. What am I missing?
