1. does this include ST cap gains taxes paid on the sales? It doesn't say so I would assume not. But does it matter? Would you rather have $11,751 and pay no tax on it or $359,533 before taxes? If you never make any money in the stock market, I guess your are a really happy man because you paid no taxes. 1. What would you have had if you just put in $10k on May 1, 1950 and held to Nov 1, 1999? Very good question tekboy! I was wondering the same thing when I read it. Give or take a few dollars, I would say the profit would be somewhere in the neighborhood of $371,284. (adding the profits - higher math, you know) I think you are missing the point. Steve 667
