index overlay

[ Q2 03 - Q4 05 Archive ] [ Current Message Board ] [ Archives ] [ Search ]

Mark, I've added DJI, SP500 and NasComp as indexes for comparison to my portfolio. On the Portfolio/Investment Overlay chart, it takes the beginning value of my portfolio as the beginning value of the 3 indexes (20,000), then seems to scale the indexes to compare with my portfolio. The problem is that the NasComp, starting at 20,000 in March 2000, is currently at 1,971 (down 90%, should be down 61%); SP500 is at 8,263 (down 58%, should be down 31%); DJI is at 11,732 (down 41%, should be down 12%). This seems like the scaling is screwy. What am I missing here?

Bill
