Use the following links to benchmark the performances of Algorithms A & B.  Comprehensive, up-to-date summaries of the performances of other investement vehicles are detailed in these links.  One thing to bear in mind is that a lot of the high performing ETFs and Hedge funds require an investor to make a decision - for example, the Gold Miners Bull 3x ETF is up >400% ytd but to obtain this return, an investor would decided to have 100% of their investment in this ETF on Jan 1st.   What if they picked the 3x Oil ETF?  What is their exit strategy?  With SMTP, no such decisions are necessary - in fact, the only decision ever needed with SMTP is to start !!
