10 years ago, if you invested about $6,358 and simply held until today then👇
S&P500: ~$40,626
Amazon: ~$62,115
Microsoft: ~$99,307
Google: ~$84,875
Apple: ~$129,442
Tesla: ~$264,289
Micron: ~$628,648
AMD: ~$986,204
NVIDIA: ~$1.41 million
Bitcoin: ~$1.37 million
Ethereum: ~$2.08 million
If you had only kept cash, you would still have only about $6,358.
Of course, past returns don’t guarantee future results.
But looking at these numbers, I’ve become even more convinced of the power of:
Time × Compound interest × Growth assets.
In investing, sometimes the hardest part isn’t buying—it’s having the patience to hold.
