Just so we're clear on the motivation here, I did the math on the stock growth you mentioned. (I estimated the annual returns of PCYC using google finance bar slider, so they may be slightly off.) Even beginning with a 2008 loss of 40%, the PCYC longterm hold beat 6 years of steady 60% by more than double. A perfect case study for why we invest in CTIX.
| year | portfolio | return | PCYC | return |
| 1 | 100000 | 100000 | ||
| 2 | 160000 | 60.00% | 60000 | -40.00% |
| 3 | 256000 | 60.00% | 144000 | 140.00% |
| 4 | 409600 | 60.00% | 244800 | 70.00% |
| 5 | 655360 | 60.00% | 624240 | 155.00% |
| 6 | 1048576 | 60.00% | 2603081 | 317.00% |
