Chart of the day
Over the past century, stocks have been where the money's at. This is especially true when compared to T-bonds, T-bills, and just plain sticking the money under the mattress. In constant 1900 dollars, a one-dollar stock market investment made in 1900 would be worth $709 today. Compare that to corporate bonds and T-bills, which would be only worth a little over $5 and $2 respectively. Then there are those fearful souls who placed the greenback under the mattress and watched its purchasing power slowly dwindle to less than a nickel!
Notes:
- All values have been adjusted for inflation.
- S&P 500 includes reinvested dividends.
- T-bonds and T-bills include reinvested interest payments.
#1 Det viktiga, som jag och andra predikat, är ju att inse kraften i "compounded interest". Det behövs inga fantastiska affärer för att bli rik på sina investeringar, det viktiga är tålamod och en hyfsad avkastning. Det är otroligt lätt att bli otålig men att sitta på händerna är ofta ett klokt beslut.
