Well, we've gone from: "from an early age, say, 25 years of age" and "assume an annual stock market investment gain of 20% per annum" to "13.4% annual compounded increase" and "a 10% trailing stop loss should lock in about 16% of their gain to date."

So we went from 1.66% a month to .94% a month.

Then we get here, over a strong period for the market: "A young investor would have done pretty well if he had put money into Buffett's ongoing top 10 stocks in terms of his holding in those stocks. We did that 17 months ago and have obtained a gross return of over 18% to date."

1.04% is way below the first 1.66% that sounded so easy to do year after year.

Reminds me of a commercial, 20% per annum, so easy a caveman could do it.
