The Pixel chart displays compound annual growth rates not over a single timeframe, but over all timeframes.  It’s a great way to visually evaluate how a portfolio performs throughout a variety of economic conditions.  Use this to compare how a hot or cold streak stacks up against history, or to see beyond recent returns and rosy averages that may hide a turbulent past.  /// More Info ///

UPDATE: Please note that the Pixel calculator has been renamed the Heat Map calculator.  It’s the exact same tool with a more descriptive name.
