jg, I was just bragging about your spectacular returns on Roubini’s blog, and upon checking the returns myself, came up with different numbers so I had to erase my post.
For 1-year, the UNWPX returned 20%, and the VGPMX returned about 21.7%.
UNWPX, adjusted for dividends and splits
12/29/06 $27.26
12/29/05 $20.27
Return = 34%. How did you calculate 51%?
This is the VGPMX Price, adjusted for dividends and splits
12/29/06 $ 28.05
12/29/05 $ 23.05
Return = 21.69%. How did you calculate 35%?
Both funds climbed 60% in the first 5 months of 2006, but then gave up half to 2/3 of their returns and stalled for the rest of the year. They are highly correlated, so how did you decide on these particular funds?
