focus on the long term - plus a few more reads... [ot & non OT]
It appears the screen shots in the ZH write are via Bloomberg terminals. I will read this write again; but it seems from the comments that there is not a decent way to monitor the PrimeX data. Need to be the "fly on the wall" for this stuff; ya know; fly into the inner chambers of the Fed and such to "watch".
Thank you for the link; and one wonders who or what agencies monitor the ZH site, and who the operators/writers may be.
I assume that you are a long term investor. Since you share your short term returns, how about posting your long term returns… like 3 years, 5 years, 10 years, and longer. I think that would be more in line with the articles you attach regarding long term investing.

JohnN, Thanks for responding to my question... but I thought that you had been investing for a much longer time.
FWIW, this morning looks (from a technical analysis standpoint only) like the possible beginning of a bear market rally. If so, the S&P 500 could run up near the 200-day moving average where it would meet technical resistance and stall... right now this level looks like it might be around 1260ish.
TSP/401k - 12 months return: Personal Investment Performance (PIP) for the past 12 months ending 09/30/2011 is -2.47%. 3 yr ~ +12% 4 yr ~ +1%
