Thanks. That makes sense. I'd still like to verify Yahoo's numbers. Also, using VFINX is not standard because there is a 0.2% a year expense drag which becomes significant over 20 years. The expense ratio has come down over time to only 0.15% now but I think it was significantly higher 20 years ago. I'd like to find an accurate source for the S&P500 return by year going as far back as possible. I could not find it on Vanguard or S&P's site but I only had a short time to look. The numbers I calculate for five, ten, and fifteen years are the same as the ones Brinker shows. What about his reported 3-yr return? What did he show and what did you calculate? He gave those numbers last year in his January 2008 Marketimer.
