PC is great as is, I only bring this up because you recently asked, and last night I found myself going back and forth between PC and FireCalc to play out various ideas (PC in portfolio/WR changes and Firecalc with cashflow changes) It's greatly appreciated! So please don't take that as a criticism.

No criticism taken at all. I appreciate the suggestion!

The site is great. I've spent hours on it. My top suggestion would be to let users pick the year back testing starts in.

One criticism that has stuck with me, is the US switching from the gold standard in the early 70's, coupled with high inflation during that time period, skews performance for gold heavy portfolios, especially the golden butterfly. This MMM thread touches on it:

I hear ya. Without devolving the journal into a technical discussion, I'll just point out that I specifically address this critique here: https://portfoliocharts.com/2019/07/23/ ... f-bubbles/

And while I absolutely appreciate the detailed site feedback, if you guys don't mind let's try to keep it in the Portfolio Charts thread. That will help me track it down later. Thanks!
