1 year, SPY/BAGIX, sometimes it's just fun to look at the real of then and now...

No hot tip from an investment Twitter feed or a 1,000 word ramble at a stumbled upon financial web site from someone with years of experience and a Master's degree in something or another; nor an investment suggestion about portfolio composition.

SPY is SPY, eh? BAGIX is a middle of the pack intermediate term bond fund. The below chart is Feb. 15 last year to this year.

SPY at +3.5% and BAGIX at +3.1% for the period.

The spread in total return is very tight (almost a wash) if one moves the chart back at few weeks to when the equity market had a fit at the end of January, 2018. Lots of headlines in this 1 year period and decent money made and lost by some during the time frame.

SPY & BAGIX 1YEAR COMPARE

Good evening,
