<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IdesOfMarch01, post: 8240059, member: 39084&quot;]Here&#039;s another perspective on investments, albeit for a somewhat shorter time period.</p><p><br /></p><p>The compounded annual return on the S&amp;P 500 (including reinvestment of dividends) since the start of 1928 (yes, including the entire Great Depression) is 1.0995 through the end of calendar 2021.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If, instead of buying this coin for $100 in 1915, you had kept the $100 and invested it in the S&amp;P 500 at the start of 1928, your $100 investment would be worth $745,335.78 today.</p><p><br /></p><p>No, that&#039;s not a typo.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>You could buy this coin today and still have over $565,000 in your bank account.</p><p><br /></p><p>My conclusion: Invest surplus money that you&#039;ll never need in the S&amp;P 500, not coins.&nbsp; Buy coins you like as a hobby, not an investment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
