If you'd done the same strategy with the S&P 500 Equal Weight (starting at end '99, the top of the bubble), the biggest drop in real rolling-two-year income from highest-to-date rolling-two-years was -34.8% for the period ending Aug 2010. (Despite the very unlucky start date for valuations, the real income drop from peak was only -16.6% in the tech bust). Real income in the last two years was up inflation + 2.44%/year compared to the real income in the first two years.

Jim, are there any screens that are very safe and work like RSP or even better?
