Scenarios

Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be $29,294 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +432.4%.

Lump sum instead — $22,200 all at once in Mar 2008: $511,810 (+2205.5%) — lump sum came out ahead.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Jul 2026): $198.17 on $200 invested (-0.9%).

⚠ 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.

There isn’t enough researched data to give it an overall rating yet — only 45% of the scoring weight is backed by facts, below the 60% needed. The score shown is partial and covers only what’s known.

What pushes the score up: sector / regulatory (4.0/5).

Scoring well: liquidity at 1.0/5.

Not yet researched: leverage / financial, earnings quality, concentration, governance. These are excluded from the score rather than guessed, so the real risk may be higher than what’s shown.

Ratings summarise sourced facts against fixed rules — not investment advice, and no substitute for your own diligence.
