ReplyDeleteHi, JC:
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for showing us how to calculate Weighted DGR.
is there anyway for me to download a workable google sheet for Weighted DGR, like your portfolio sheet?
I am not very familiar with google spreadsheet and could not figure out how to make a copy of your Weighted DGR.
Thanks again.

DeleteNo problem. I'll see what I can do to get that set up so you can download it. It's pretty simple to get set up but it's a pain in the beginning. I'll try and work on it over the next few days. Email me at passiveincomepursuit@gmail.com so I can send it to you or let you know. In the meantime you can check out this post that can maybe walk you through the steps.
