Hi Dimitris,
Those settings increased my Return on Account to 295%...now i am only 55
percentage points from your total.
May I assume you were citing Return on Account when you mentioned +350%?
My results are the same with both MSN and Yahoo EOD data.
Any other thoughts on why we are still so different?
thanks again,
-john
