Wow, it's been three weeks since we've done one of these.
In our defense, I was traveling with a 14 month old (and, well, we two adults)... and hey, we produced a bunch of articles in the meantime. You're obviously still reading, so accept as our apology this Weekender, and don't petition us to call this series a "monthender".

- At a Wealth of Common Sense, an illustration about how average returns look when you stretch performance out over longer and longer time periods. We have a calculator trying to show something similar, if you're into that kind of thing.
