| 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. |
| etmzkn | @johntan1979: like your comments. keep your style. and also thanks for contributions. generally i skip most and read yours first. |
| khalifa92 | mattg is probably trolling. |
Your review questions and global ranking system were so helpful.
