Just a workable rebalancing spreadsheet

Kind of hard to follow and now is two years old. Anyone have a link to a current one?

Re: Spreadsheet
i would love to be able to see the growth of 10k from 1987 in dollars with the 4 part pp for comparisons .
i did a quick comparison since 1982 of prpfx vs some other conservative fund like fidelity puritan . i have to say the price you paid waiting for that next calamity was quite high.
don't forget we had 3 major crashes , more recessions than i care to count as well as having in this time frame one event that almost took down the entire financial system..
10k in prpfx grew to 71k today while puritan grew to 235k .
prpfrx vs one of the most popular conservative funds wellesly income was 71k since 1982 vs 295k today.
these differences really have to stop and make you think if giving up so much of a your nest egg protecting against something that may never happen is really worth it.
you could lose more than 50% of what you gained in wellesley and still be way a head of planning for that 50% drop.
yes , to some the protection from the unknown may be worth it , i get that . but that protection can also be quite hazardous to your wealth in itself.

I've been using the same spreadsheet for more than two years. I assure you it is not subject to bit decay

The PP returned a CAGR of 7.04% with the worst year -2.0%. Final balance $67,000.
A 60/40 Bogle returned a CAGR of 9.16% with the worst year -20.0%. Final balance $116,500.

Re: Spreadsheet
now keep in mind that time frame included lots of nasty events including the almost collapse of the financial system . 116k vs 67k is quite a price to pay for protection against the remote chane of Armageddon .Desert wrote:Since 1987,mathjak107 wrote: i would love to be able to see the growth of 10k from 1987 in dollars with the 4 part pp for comparisons .

i won't even compare it to the results my newsletter got , which by the way were no different than any other new letters of the day. fidelity monitor did even better before they merged with fidelity insight.

Small cap value returned a CAGR of 11.28% with the worst year -37.0%. Final balance $199,500.
Or, if you'd gone with a 50/50 split between small cap value and emerging markets:
CAGR of 12.88% with the worst year -42.4%. Final balance $297,400.
