First thing to do is write a post for your readers talking about the Tour and putting “I’m a particant” graphic in the post.

Yes.. let’s get this thing started.

In the past I have done stupid things. I panicked at some point during the tech slide and sold some of my TD Science & Technology Fund. Had I bought some more instead (to rebalance, not to "time" the market), I would have done better. And probably my annualized return would have matched or beaten the return of the fund itself. So I want to track this stuff to make sure I don't do anything stupid. If I see a huge discrepancy between MY return of an ETF I own compared to the return of the index, I can look back at my transactions and say, did I do something stupid here? It would be interesting as well to see how much of a bonus I'll get from rebalancing... and this kind of information will show that. Well just to make sure that I am not doing something stupid.

Seems contradictory. Nice returns. :) If you can’t time the markets, then why worry about how good/bad your timing is? Seems contradictory.
