Scenarios

Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be $31,207 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +1401.0%.

Lump sum instead — $23,400 all at once in Mar 2007: $978,948 (+4083.5%) — lump sum came out ahead.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Mar 2024): $2,929 on $3,000 invested (-2.4%).

⚠ 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.

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.
