Scenarios

Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be $30,884 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +766.6%.

Lump sum instead — $23,200 all at once in May 2007: $333,571 (+1337.8%) — lump sum came out ahead.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Jul 2026): $204.17 on $200 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.
