You're right Octavian. Why does Kirk have to through all these various gerrymandering of combinations of portfolios? Why doesn't he just show the performance of EACH portfolio on a yearly basis? I suspect the performance of his "explore" portfolio by itself is lousy. And how does this work? Kirk says his most aggressive portfolio plus his explore only return 4.6% annually? The same as the total market? These numbers look funny to me Kirk... 80% in “Core Aggressive” plus 20% in “Explore” was up 103.3% or 4.6% compound annual return. ==> $100,000 invested 1/1/99 became $203,341? 100% in VTSMX was up 49.6% or 4.6% compound annual return. ==> $100,000 invested 1/1/99 became $149,649
