I just found learned that the housing index in Manhattan was at a peak of 100 in 1988, then dropped by 27% over the next 6 years. The index did not again hit 100 until 2002...............14 years after Forkies random year of 1988.

Okay Forkie, how about you repeat your calculations, except this time begin in 1998?

Umm, . . . that should read "smoking hot wives" :

I was going to say the same, and definitely..no argument there.

Instead he's created a bullshit excuse as to why he cant be transparent - and AlanLeroy is happy to run with it.

Also the S&P was at a low point on 1/1/88, so the index he's comparing to was moving into a major bull market. If the analysis started in 1/1/2000 it would be a completely different result...but that wouldn't fit his narrative.

You want to compare it with 2000? Cool!

In 2000, Trump claimed his net worth was $5 billion. In 2016, Forbes says he is worth $4 billion.

I think he would have done better to invest in Blockbuster Video. Can't you just smell the great business acumen?

Well if you accept his 2000 claim of a $5 billon net worth then you'd be a hypocrite to not accept his 2015 claim of a 10+ billion net worth.

https://www.donaldjtrump.com/press-releases/donald-j.-trump-files-personal-financial-disclosure-statement-with-federal

So using your methodology, his net worth increased by 100% during a period when the S&P 500 increased by 30%. What a truly remarkable businessman.

If Forbes mis-estimated Donald Trump's worth by 250%, then Trump is a great businessman.

If Forbes is accurate, than Trump is a loser businessman.

Can we all agree on that?
