After yesterday's big drop, what let's see how Ol' Flagpole is doing against the Dow (I do not know yet...)
Dow YTD: UP 2.69%
Flagpole YTD: UP 5.69%
So, exactly 3% up on the Dow as of today.
are you counting dividends in your citing of the Dow?
I have already told you that I will not tell you if I include dividends or not...only because I know it bothers you so, and you are someone who needs to be bothered.

Oh man...I swear I though Sally had written that. YOU, agip do not need to be bothered.
I still will answer the question because it bothers Sally so much.

I don't really give a f*ck if you tell us if you are including dividends, but you don't really understand numbers and the market, etc. I was going to write something but your knowledge of the market is kind of low so not going to bother. Keep saying the 37 out of 33 and we will keep giggling in private.
are you counting dividends in your citing of the Dow? You get paid dividends in your accounts so you have count those when comparing to the Dow, otherwise you are giving yourself an unfair advantage.
Just use the ETF with the ticker DIA as your proxy and look up its total return on Morningstar. That will count dividends.
After yesterday's rally the Dow is up 4.44% year to date.
Of course the Sp500 is a much better benchmark for you - that one is up 10.6% year to date.
Which just shows again that you have a tech/growthy portfolio and that explains why you have beaten the Dow - it's not as tech/growthy as the SP500.
Also, if Flagpole does have a tech/growth portfolio, his good years will almost always be better than the Dow, but his bad years will usually be worse than the Dow. You can't have it both ways. A tech-heavy portfolio is much more volatile than the more conservative Dow.
I do not have a tech-heavy portfolio. Also, I can have it any way I want it. Burger King says so, and I make it so.

1) Oh, you care. You care A LOT.
2) I understand numbers and the market. I have made more than you have and you're older and didn't retire when I did...because of um...understanding numbers and the market.
