Going through my Google Drive, I noticed that I have some lingering MIFP-related stuff. So I took the liberty of updating and re-posting them.
First up, the pseudocolor plot of the S&P 500 based on Professor Robert Shiller's data. This plot shows the total return from the S&P 500 over any combination of start and stop dates. The return has been adjusted for inflation and dividends.

And there's the spreadsheet based on Ally Bank's CD offerings. The first sheet shows the return on a hypothetical $1000 deposit once you factor in the early withdrawal penalty. On the second sheet, I computed the annualized return of said deposit.

If anyone has any requests for other analyses, graphics, visualizations, spreadsheets, etc., let me know. It's kind of my thing. :-)
