Scenarios

Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be $18,124 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +1297.9%.

Lump sum instead — $14,700 all at once in Jun 2014: $793,550 (+5298.3%) — lump sum came out ahead.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Jul 2026): $216.72 on $200 invested (+8.4%).

⚠ Price returns only — dividends are not included. This understates the true return of dividend-paying shares, and any comparison against crypto (which pays no dividends) is biased against equities by roughly the dividend yield, compounded.
