You can't knock him -- he's obviously built himself up something pretty impressive. :0) @Atlas

In time, it should smooth itself out... :0) Yeah, I’m not real fond of how it made my NetworthIQ widget look (with that HUGE gain in January 2008) and I thought about back-filling the balances for the pre-2008 entries but then decided against it.

I added my home *AND* my mortgage balance to the calcuations at that time. It was not when I purchased my house so the net gain was not zero. Regarding my huge jump in January of 2008, the answer is in January 2008′s Net Worth Update.

If you buy a house and add the debt, the transaction itself should net zero or a bit of a loss due to closing costs, if any. Curious on that point.
