Scenarios

Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be $25,890 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is -18.8%.

Lump sum instead — $20,000 all at once in Jan 2010: $98,087 (+390.4%) — lump sum came out ahead.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Aug 2021): $2,884 on $6,100 invested (-52.7%).

⚠ 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.

About Charter Communications

Charter Communications, Inc., is an American telecommunications and mass media company with services branded as Spectrum. The company is headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut. (Wikipedia)

It's a listed company categorised under communication services and cable & satellite.

It rates High Risk at 2.8/5, meaning several rated factors score badly, so this carries materially more risk than a typical holding.

What pushes the score up: leverage / financial (5.0/5) and market / volatility (3.3/5).

Scoring well: earnings quality at 1.0/5.

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

Ratings summarise sourced facts against fixed rules — not investment advice, and no substitute for your own diligence.
