Scenarios

Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be $18,265 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +257.6%.

Lump sum instead — $14,800 all at once in May 2014: $110,883 (+649.2%) — lump sum came out ahead.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Jan 2025): $1,957 on $2,000 invested (-2.1%).

⚠ 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.

Scoring well: liquidity at 1.0/5.

Not yet researched: earnings quality, concentration, governance. These are excluded from the score rather than guessed, so the real risk may be higher than what’s shown.
