Hi Keith and happy holidays! Your figures for the b&h comparison are correct. The myst method would beat it by over 30%. The BTB method would end up with 215.69 shares and $245.62 in cash as of Dec 26th, the last updating period. If the $245.62 were converted to shares at $39.32 it would equal 6.25 shares for a total of 221.94 shares. $221.94 X 39.32= $8726.68 The myst method = $9622.88 so if my math is correct that is an increase of 10.3% over the BTB method. Not bad for 1 year. I chose Tuesday for the updating period because Tuesday, Jan 2nd was the 1st trading day of the year. Then I just followed up with every Tuesday after that (unless it was a holiday, in which case I used the Wednesday following). Not sure how a Friday updating period would have effected performance but I assume it wouldn't be much. I'm going to keep to the Tuesday updates for this year, so I'll have to use the Wednesday data for the day after New years for the next update. I'll keep you posted, Myst
