Examine the following chart showing a 10 year return of 7.78% of the Vanguard Long Term Treasury Fund.

Had the STRS Fund performed as well, current value would be approximately 85 Billion Dollars. Examine the following chart.

This is not intended as hindsight criticism of STRS Investment Department, but, simply to demonstrate that there are other ways to make good returns without risking huge losses.

STRS Members must work diligently to get STRS to:

1) REDUCE PERCENTAGE OF RISK EQUITIES

2) MANAGE RISK EQUITIES EFFECTIVELY TO REDUCE LOSSES and PROTECT PROFITS.
