mattg Actual return aka "return" means "expected return"
johntan1979 Woah there... not sure where you got that but ACTUAL is NOT the same as EXPECTED return.
jonan203 you cannot predict actual returns, EVER! there are a billion, zillion compliance regulations regarding the statement you just made mattg.
