OK, post the dates, facts, cost of investment, and returns annualized over time. I have not invested in RT's since 1985, so I personally don't go back that far. Nevertheless, what has been your annualized rate of return since 1985?

Second, how would these figures compare if you did not use the current PWI price, but instead used a price when NG was 1/2 its current value? I ask this, because if the price of NG (and subsequent returns) are calculated after the next downward movement, the rate of return would be far less.

The discussion reminds me of those who touted Certicom at 100 as it moved to 120. It is now below 4 I believe. Twenty years from now? Who knows. My time horizon (and my life) is not that long. Perhaps you will live another 50 years. If you also own Japanese equities, you might need that time. I don't want to be caught in a two-decade decline.

Further, I would be far less critical if the recent dilution of PWI was for the purchase of reasonable investment that added to earnings. As I understand it, the last dilution did nothing to advance earnings or increase reserves.
