Forum performance entry ?
Would it be an idea to have a sperate entry for performance. There are a lot of differences in implementing HB permanent or semi permanent or VP's around the world. A separate forum entry would be much easier to track those different portfolio's

Talk to Boss MT or craigr.

I would say to bookmark Ryan's blog or Craig's website. Both places have great historical performance information for the U.S. PP.
As far as historical performance of non-U.S. PPs, people have posted a lot about that over the years, but the methodology and assumptions always seems to be a little different, and thus I don't know if those returns could be compared to one another without a lot of qualifications and disclaimers.
I've thought of many different ways of rearranging the topics, but what Craig initially set up seems to work pretty well.
The good news is that between the forum here, the massive boglehead PP thread, Harry Browne's books and radio shows, and our PP book, I believe that there are few PP-related matters that haven't been addressed in a lot of detail at some point.
If you want to start a thread that compiles all of the performance information people have posted over the years for U.S. and non-U.S. PPs, I would be happy to sticky it.
