Skeeter,

I think he is not doing some basic calculations right. It is quite obvious that he cannot get 13% compound annual. Hopefully this article
Message 17772279

lays it down plain and clear.

There are only two possibilities. Either he is not DCA indexing but actually is a bright active investor who bought puts during the mania and or actively traded smartly or he is just seeing returns that don't exist in a passive SP500 DCA program due to miscalculations.

Regards,

Simba
