Scenarios

Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be $33,683 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +578.8%.

Lump sum instead — $24,900 all at once in Dec 2005: $352,268 (+1314.7%) — lump sum came out ahead.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Jun 2026): $307.64 on $300 invested (+2.5%).

⚠ 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.
