Scenarios

Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be $48,233 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +365.8%.

Lump sum instead — $32,800 all at once in May 1999: $500,762 (+1426.7%) — lump sum came out ahead.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (May 2026): $405.54 on $400 invested (+1.4%).

⚠ 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.

It's a listed company categorised under financials and investment banking & brokerage, with a market cap of about $302.0B.

It rates High Risk at 2.9/5, meaning several rated factors score badly, so this carries materially more risk than a typical holding.

What pushes the score up: earnings quality (4.0/5) and sector / regulatory (4.0/5).

Scoring well: liquidity at 1.0/5.

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