I'm not sure how Forbes calculates their numbers, but according to Bob's newsletter, Portfolio I has done +251.6%, Portfolio II, +268.7%, and Portfolio III has done +113.1%, total return since 1-1-88.


Chuck, they are talking Compounded Return.

I just plugged in these numbers into my HP 100LX

N=10
PV=$-10,000
FV=$35,610

and I get 13.4%

I've been tracking Bob's portfolios that past few yrs and they do
pw2.netcom.com
(this is a bit out of date, but has the right performance numbers for 1994 thru 1996)

I don't have data for Marketimer further back than that.
Also, 1997 showed about 15% for his 3 portfolios and the active/passive is new and I haven't started charting it yet.

I think a high percentage of foreign that has lagged brings his overall total down.
