| fabsan | you wrong chester21. The True yield include all days (weekend and holiday) in a single year. But, the street conv yield only take business days. If I say, I made 2% on 365 days (true yield) and you said you made 2% on 255 days (because you only take into account the business days); if we were to compare our 2 performances, you will always make more. |
You have a wonderful website and definitely should take some credit for your members' outstanding grades.
