Geometric return since 10/01/2008: 14.06%. A geometric return corrects for money withdrawn or deposited over the life of an investment. So, if you had given me $100 to invest for you back in October of 2008, it would be worth $114.06 now. If you had invested that $100 in a Dow Jones index, it would be worth $93.24. Although, as you can tell from the graph above, I haven't really made any progress since June.
