And the winner is... (Lazy Portfolios Jan 08 - Sep 10)

Post by foglifter »

Our fellow member MadMoneyMachine posted on his website a nice chart of all lazy portfolios' performance since January 2008 (click on the image for a larger view).

It doesn't come as a surprise that not only PP recovered from the 2008 bloodbath, it posted nice gains. Also of interest could be comparison of the three PPs: PRPFX, classic PP and SV/EM-tilted PP (Paul Boyer). Equity-heavy PRPFX dropped lower in 2008, while performance of HB PP and Paul Boyer's PP is almost identical (although SV and EM tilt might prove to be a return-boosting factor for the latter. Nobody knows  ;)).

Thanks for an excellent chart, MadMoneyMachine!
