I have recently been reading about "lazy portfolios" and am would like to be able to analyze potential retunrs/risks over time for portfolios made up of different holdings. It sounds like the spreadsheet you created would be a huge help in that. Thanks. Robert Would you be willing to share the spreadsheet you talked about (or at least tell my how you created it)?

So they are included in both the total returns and the standard deviation of returns. Not sure I understand the question, so let me answer it anyway :-)

I don't see how this "counts" in total returns, but it doesn't "count" in risk. Quick question on std deviation – how do we account for dividends (or fund distributions)?
