If only we all had perfect timing in our investments, we'd all be rich!

Also, an interesting analysis by Goldman:

You might want to use current information. But then again whats being off by around a 50% difference amongst friends.

not sure what you are referring to.


If you look at your link, it reports +308% in the last 52 week period, otherwise known as the last 12 months.


If you are referring to the Goldman analysis, it was for a point in time (they published it late April of this year). The interesting part is the Sharpe ratio because it adjusts for risk. Anyway, it's highly unlikely Goldman's made a math error and even more unlikey that you caught it!

In any case, crypto and possibly investing in financial products does not seem like something you are interested in or even have a basic understanding of how it works. Have fun, use google and a calculator.

In regards to the chart, do you know what YTD stands for, i'll give you a clue it is not the last 52 weeks? In regards to using current data were in the last third of May when you used a link from April.

Keep going! This is funny. What kind of "expert" is sloride? In reading perhaps? charts? words (they must be tough)? Basic math?

22% is a far cry from 78%. You need to keep going keep.

Ive come to the conclusion that you are either trolling or are simply unable to understand the basics. Hopefully you are trolling otherwise you’ve really exposed yourself. Prices change, that is the very basis of a market. Research is published and is accurate at the time of publication.

I’ll leave you with this, which you may or may not understand.

It is trolling, but mostly just himself. I am not sure of the endgame of putting himself in a corner and crafting his own dunce hat for all to see. I encourage fools to expose themselves, so we are still going.

I admit it's pretty funny in a 'you don't know what you don't know' kind of way, that's why I keep responding. But I'm stopping since it was an honest question from Nate that's been answered and he doesn't want to get involved in arguments.
