"A follow-up of how it would have worked as a "safe withdrawal rate" method"

Thank you for sharing, Jim. The survival of my retirement nestegg is of great importance to me, as I'm sure it is to many board members, and ideas on how safely to withdraw funds is very useful.

May I ask a question about the table of values in your 3/23/2021 post? The value shown as of the end of 2020 of 409719 looks to be inconsistent with the value shown in the chart at www.stonewellfunds.com/PriceAndWMAofValue.png. I'm sure that it's not, and that I'm just reading the chart wrong, but could you please help me? If I'm reading the chart correctly, the value, by both measures, looks to be very close to the price at the end of 2020, which was $347,815. The difference between that and 409719 cannot be the inflation adjustment, as the 3/23/2021 post was less than four months after the end of 2020. Where is my error? (See, I do try to read your posts carefully.)

Thank you for correcting my misreading, and thank you for sharing your estimates of value. I'm impressed at how well your estimates of value agree with the price history.

Sincerely,
