John, that's a very good illustration. One thing that is sometimes missed in the buying secular tops and breaking even exercise is the dividend payments you receive in the interim. There is a very large difference between the absolute real return and the dividend adjusted absolute real return.

With reinvested dividends, you break even much sooner.
