will you ever post a complete matrix showing, or is that too difficult on this board?

If you've ever tried to copy and paste a spreadsheet onto a TigerDroppings page you know that the columns and rows get very jumbled up and makes it difficult to decipher.

For example, below is the 12/31/13 year-end values for each of our prediction categories, the values as of 9/26/14 and then just your row of predictions copied and pasted directly from my spreadsheet:
Actual 12/31/13 16,576.66 1,848.36 4,176.59 16,291.32 80.15 $1.3756 3.036% 3.976% $1,205.20 $19.520 $98.62 $4.248 $2.7896
Y-T-D Change 3.24% 7.28% 8.04% -0.38% 25.71% -7.81% -16.75% -19.14% 0.85% -10.16% -5.15% -5.16% -4.58%

As you can see, it's messy. But if it helps you and if anyone else wants to see their individual predictions and percentages I'll be happy to do it.

thanks again for doing this. I'm really enjoying following this in spite of my poor performance. It's interesting to see how wrong I was about interest rates rising this year, but don't think I"ll be too far off on areas that really matter (stocks).

ETA: btw, it's very easy to convert the posted pile of numbers back to a spreadsheet
* use Word to find/replace spaces with tabs
* copy and paste to Excel sheet
puts all data in cells, you'll have to move them around a bit, but only takes a minute or 2
