Too bad someone doesn't bring this up to Tom Sullivan. I'd like to see him do a show on it.

Well... assuming these numbers are comparable (which I don't know that they are), here's the math.

Amerigomag... can you shed any light? Would it be more appropriate to chose only certain funds?

The GSP numbers for 2002 won't be published until December 15, 2004, so the analysis is limited. Also, BEA also publishes something called "Chained-dollar GSP" which I did not use as I did not fully understand its derivation vs. the "Current dollar GSP" defined in my post above.
