Roger Nusbaum's Market Crash Shelter [View article]
using 7/1/2000-12/31/2002 as a real world stress test KO declined 25% while the SPX declined 40%-according to bigcharts.com. To readers, something i said elsewhere, would a 3% yield be much solace in the face of a 25% price decline? I specificlly touch on this above in the post. If you can be on board with that type of action, and to Geoff's credit you probably should be, fine but in the context of exploring ideas that avoid a collapse I think this is a lousy example.
BTW KO is down about 18% from July 1 2001 through today.
Go to bigcharts.com and play around with the dates yourself.
