Bills sheet I believe defaults to 50%

long ago in my simulations with UOPIX (all starting periods)
I learned that it did not pay to start with more than 25%
cash, which is what I use as a standard for UOPIX

yes, I do run out of cash (as I did in the particular
short term simulation to which you refer), but I have found
over and over again that after a year and 1/4 or more
the results are better if you start with the 25% cash.

the only thing I have not tested is starting out at
a high and going donw from there - in that case I suppose
that more cahs is better - but even in a period like
now [which I would call entering at the middle of the
range] - too much cash is a long term looser (in my studies
only of course)
