    If you own GBP AUD in the same proportion to CHF JPY are you hedged?

    If you are long CHF/JPY, adding GBP/AUD -- long or short, in any ratio -- is most certainly not a hedge. I'd suggest that you read up on the concept of statistical correlation. Then study correlations among the various currency pairs. Look at mataf.net or run your own in Excel.

To my eye, nearly all the Playmates - the vast majority, with few possible exceptions -- over the last 10-15 years have obviously been surgically ruined, I mean, enhanced, up top.

    Annual Returns

    What you want is a "time-weighted return", as opposed to "dollar-weighted return." Just Google the former for the formula and examples. It's widely accepted, fairly intuitive and correctly adjusts for any capital inflows and outflows.
