</div> <br /> Red Deer, has it ever occurred to you that I don't give a fig about "redemption" or becoming Mr. Popularity on these boards? Being an intelligent person yourself, so surely you must have thought on that, no? Second, I treat people on these boards the way they treat me and sclarda hasn't treated me very well, so ....Lastly, how long did it take you to type out that message? It must have taken quite a while and I hope you found it time well spent. Regarding your advice for getting my return on capital for the year, I was aware of what you said well before you posted it here today. However, things are complicated by the fact that my major account is a retirement account which I raid on occasion to meet my cash needs, which was the case early in 2019. So my 2018 year end account value dropped by $40K before the end of January 2019, which makes your simple method of calculating my return for the year unworkable,and I have much better things to do with my time than to devote any more of it to this problem. I will simply wait for Scotia to tell mewhat my performance is when we get to the end of December. In the meanwhile I'll be content in knowing that I've had a huge return on my capital this past year although I won't know the exact number until that time.
