Portfolio Charts

they had some ground to make up but not a lot of time

how much time? in a 5-10 year time frame, RoI does not matter too much (within bounds, of course). something pretty conservative + high savings rate is probably much more important than tweaking the potential returns of anything in the portfolio.

Maybe an early accumulator who doesn’t believe in cryptos long-term puts a little bit into the crypto roulette wheel to try and hack the accumulation game.

Any special requests?

Here's something minor I thought of that would add a cherry to the already incredible Portfolio Charts sundae:

It would be cool to be able to build a custom asset allocation and then see it across all the different calculators at once. You already do this for the portfolios that are pre-loaded in the "portfolios" section, and it's great. But if you're building your own, you have to re-enter the percentages each time you switch calculators.

Thanks for the suggestion. As often as I hear that request, sooner or later I'm gonna have to take the hint and make it happen.

I am a big fan of the site. Thanks!

My #1 request would be the ability to add a % drag to each investment type, to account for fees and taxes (and cynicism ).

[Smashter]

@Tyler, I see you updated the interface for entering in asset allocations. I like it!

[Tyler9000]

Thanks!

Beyond the interface update there's also a ton of new data. European investors may be especially interested in the full assortments of World and European indices, so be sure to check it out.

Awesome.
Thanks Tyler

lol nice drop shadow

[Tyler9000]

Maybe I can add some nice embossed Win95 buttons in the next update.

[BRUTE]

and just reversing the shadows makes the buttons look clicked... mind blown!

Just FYI ... some of the calculators are taking 20+ seconds to load on my mac. It's not a big deal, but maybe a Patience, Obi-Wan notice on each page would preempt complaints?

[Tyler9000]

Hmm... it's working fine for me. I know MS OneDrive occasionally has regional server issues, so maybe give it a little time to sort itself out. There shouldn't be anything new in there that would account for slower performance on its own.

[jennypenny]

Haha, so I'm the one who needs the patience reminder. As you said, maybe it's just coincidence that my neck of the interwoods happens to be slow the day I'm trying out the new interface. I'll let you know if it doesn't improve in a week or two.

Looks good, though.

[BRUTE]

it takes ~5-10 seconds to load a calculator for brute, but it always has taken some time.

[jennypenny]

Yeah, PC is loading very quickly this morning so it was definitely me yesterday. Sorry for doubting the technical capabilities of the all-powerful T9000.

[ThisDinosaur]

Am I mistaken, or did the old version have an option for REITs/real estate outside the US?

[Tyler9000]

They were always US REITs, and the calculator simply translated the numbers to local returns just like it does now. The new label just makes it more clear to avoid any confusion. That said, a good global REIT fund is also dominated by US holdings so the numbers will be reasonably accurate for that as well.
