The Ox you are THE MAN. Thanks for getting that original post on Swift Transportation. Now let me get out my pencil and figure the rate of return from March 31, 2006 ( a couple of days after the post) until to today. Close enough to a year for government work. I will use the avg price on March 31, 2006. The rate of return calculation I use is Market Value @ end of period - Market Value @ beg of period Market Value @ beg of period or simply MVend - MVbeg MVbeg And the answer is: 31.16 - 21.65 = 43.88 % 21.65 Whoa, I got one right. Now if I can figure out how to change the turn signal lights on my 1990 Buick Regal I can boast of a successful day.
