The chart below shows the Shermanator for the year 2000, followed in order by charts for *The Sherman Strategy's* Long/Cash Low-Activity portfolio, the Long/Short Low-Activity portfolio, and finally the S&P 500 Cash Index. Each chart is plotted in alternating green and red, signifying periods of Long positions (green) and Short/Cash positions (red) as dictated by the rules for interpreting the Shermanator.

The Shermanator and the US Intermediate-Term Model were both introduced in early 2004. The construction of the Shermanator has not changed since introduction. However, the Intermediate-Term Model has been improved numerous times over the years, as recently as mid-year 2008. These changes include improvements in the interpretation of the Shermanator, as well as improvements in portfolio construction. Therefore, even though the Shermanator itself has been calculated in real time since its introduction, please consider all of the returns shown in the Intermediate-Term Model tables and charts to be hypothetical, as they are the result of applying the current Intermediate-Term Model to all prior years. The Sherman Calendar Effects Model has been implemented in real-time since April 1, 2001, and has not changed since that time. The Global ETF Model, and the Bull/Bear Longer-Term Model, were both introduced in June, 2009. Returns shown for these two models prior to June 2009 are hypothetical. The Sherman Policy Portfolios were introduced in May, 2010. Please consider all returns to be hypothetical.
