net cost - cumulative sum

4% of the cumulative sum was invested at year end '95.

20% of the cumulative sum was invested at the peak of '97

25% of the cumulative sum was invested at year end '97

50% of the cumulative sum was invested at the bottom of '98

1.24 (2.45 x the cost at the time) x the cumulative sum was invested in CDs in JUN '00

1/3 of the 2nd 50% was allocated to stock accounts in the 1st half of 2001

2/3 of the 2nd 50% was allocated to stock accounts in DEC 2001 and FEB 2002 when some CDs came due

I don't worry about indices. I am waiting for 3 - 5 baggers on my cost and the "secular bears" have advised me that I will have a long wait. I think 2006.
