Scenarios

Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be $29,294 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +75.3%.

Lump sum instead — $22,200 all at once in Mar 2008: $81,720 (+268.1%) — lump sum came out ahead.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Jul 2026): $197.57 on $200 invested (-1.2%).

⚠ 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.

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.
