Scenarios

Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be $45,860 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +652.1%.

Lump sum instead — $31,600 all at once in May 2000: $136,332 (+331.4%) — DCA came out ahead.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (May 2026): $359.3 on $400 invested (-10.2%).

⚠ 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 ON Semiconductor

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited is a Taiwanese multinational semiconductor contract manufacturing and design company. Headquartered in Hsinchu Science Park, it is one of the world's largest non-US companies by market capitalisation. It holds a commanding majority in the semiconductor foundry market, accounting for approximately 70% of the global market share. As the leading dedicated contract chipmaker, it serves as the main supplier for Nvidia, Apple, Broadcom, and Qualcomm. (Wikipedia)

It's a listed company categorised under information technology and semiconductors, with a market cap of about $32.4B.

It rates High Risk at 3.0/5, meaning several rated factors score badly, so this carries materially more risk than a typical holding.

What pushes the score up: market / volatility (4.7/5) and earnings quality (4.0/5).

Scoring well: sector / regulatory 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.
