Known limitations
What we don't do — yet.
The honest edges of the model. Every number on this site is nominal — we do not deflate for inflation, so a 2015 dollar and a 2026 dollar are shown at face value. We do not model income, dividend, or capital-gains taxes, and we report no risk-adjusted metrics such as volatility or Sharpe ratio. Treat results as a disciplined backtest, not a forecast.
Assumptions
- 01All values are nominal — no CPI/inflation deflation or real-dollar mode.
- 02No income, dividend, or capital-gains tax modeling.
- 03No risk-adjusted metrics (volatility, standard deviation, Sharpe) are computed.
- 04No FX or non-USD assets.
- 05No single-stock options or short positions.
- 06No leverage beyond a 30-year fixed mortgage.
- 07No rebalancing or trading-strategy alpha.
