Which "rule of three"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_three

And how is it being applied, exactly?

jcl, I appreciate all your comments, but sometimes they do seem to miss and/or avoid the point. Probably because you're too busy single-handedly (mostly) dealing with all the forum posts along with whatever else you do...

I don't understand why you say the 9.17% doesn't make sense. To me acidburn's question made sense, and should have received a sensible answer...

I too am struggling with Drawdown, Return, and how to maximize return and robustness given the requirements of use of capital, etc.

Thanks.
