You are so funny.

I didn't take a bath when the market went down, probably because I am a more
intelligent investor than you. What is YOUR average rate of return?

What links? The only links are to spreadsheets on YOUR site. If you have an
original printout, then scan it in and make it available as a pdf. BTW -
Since the figures are from 1999, they are no more valid than a snapshot of
our economy in the same year for making predictions about the current
situation.

Given your history, I would infer the numbers are either (a) fabricated, (b)
'massaged', or (c) misinterpreted. You have no clue what you read.
