That looks OK to me. But you have to include the latest contributions from the ongoing "Brinker secular bull(s***) market" ;-)

Based on that, the numbers I ran a few months ago, gave me the 1999 to 2008 results (up to early July) as 30.7% cumulative i.e. 2.71% annualized

By comparison, the Vanguard prime money-market fund gave returns of about 3.27% annualized.

So the markets have underperformed cash over the last 10 yrs or so.
