The iDtenT index started today out at at 9196, a fall of 674 points, or 6.7%, since its inception, on Oct 31. On Oct 31, marked with a star below, the index had a value of 10,000.

Remarkably, the non-IDtenT index has gained 6.7% in these very same 8 days. Therefore, in 6 days alone, non-iDtenT investors have seen a 13.4% greater return than iDtenT investors. It actually pays not to be in iDtenT.

Sorry... I made an error in my spreadsheet and my post; please allow me to correct it:

Remarkably, the non-IDtenT index has gained 8% in these very same 8 days. Therefore, in 8 days alone, non-iDtenT investors have seen a 16% greater return than iDtenT investors.
