Graph
It would have been depressing last year but would it be
possible to have a graph showing 'Value of one unit'?

I know that is asking a lot. If that's too much, how about a
page showing the 'Value of one unit' on a daily,
semi-monthly, or monthly basis.

While I'm asking for the moon I may as well ask for a couple
of stars. If you can do the graph could you make it possible
to see the club unit value against a index such as the S&P?

That might be depressing also. Our club could end up owning
a lot of SPY!

Thanks, Joe

This might happen if one of our engineers decides to have some fun,
but it is not a priority right now, unfortunately.

It's likely that we will implement this sooner than a graph and allow
you to download it as a spreadsheet.

We have a test version of this running. It is not ready for prime
time. There are a number of delicate issues having to deal with
mergers and spinoffs.

You always have the future look forward to. It is important to know
where you are, however. I recommend you avoid graphs, and instead
look at your annualized internal rate of return. This will allow you
to compare your investments against each other, and, for example,
against bivio's Club Index:
