Each bar here is the % change that week in the portfolio from the prior week. It is not cummulative.

I monitor the week to week change and then report on the cummulative monthly, quarterly, and since inception portfolio changes to reinforce that short-term fluctuations, though they may seem significant, are ultimately minor to meaningless. This goes for the up weeks as well as the down weeks. Over the long term, it’s the broader trend that truly matters.
