Year-to-date Returns through May 1, 2000
Returns assume an even dollar amount invested in each stock. When a portfolio is rebalanced, the weighting for each stock is adjusted to maintain an equal dollar "investment" in each stock. (In other words, we don't "let the winners run.") "Cost basis" is the split-adjusted purchase price. "Now" is the closing price as of the date below. Returns do not account for dividends, transaction costs or taxes.
