Combs returns are better than good, compared to his benchmark.  To date, according to the tables Schroeder presents, the financial benchmark is down 40%, and Combs is up 50%, gross, before fees.  Thus, an investment of $100 in the benchmark in 05 would now be worth $60.  An investment of $100 in the fund Combs managed, less fees, would now be worth $150.  Relative results: 150/60.  :)  

 

More importantly, the results are robust, not dependent on a handful of big winners.  He was long a fairly large number of the better financial stocks, and he identified some of the worst turkeys for shorts.  His long picks significantly beat the index each year.  :)
