Kathy > ok, so how much has it gone up in the last 10 years?

Honest question.
I had to fire up the other computer to find out.

A very long time ago now I created a fictitious
'mutual fund' I call 'Mad_Mutual'. I took the
value of everything 'in it' and decided I would
create an arbitrary number of shares. Divide the
value by the shares and I came up with a NAV of
$8.70. (NAV = Net Asset value - or dollars per share.)
This was back in 2006.

If I buy 'stuff' to go in it I have to create more
shares equivalent to the NAV and the number of shares
goes up proportionately to what I bought. If I receive
a dividend check I have to subtract the equivalent
number of shares. The end result of all the arithmetic
is I have a number (NAV) which, over time, reflects how
well or how poorly my investing has done. When the
market takes a dump my NAV goes down with it.

So, at the start of 2006 my NAV was $8.70.

At the start of 2010 my NAV was $9.33.
At the start of 2020 my NAV was $27.02.

Not quite tripled my money? (Please do remember
that a lot of the increase in my NAV is due to
those dividend checks - which I either spent or
re-invested.)

And yesterday my NAV was down to $25.14.

HI!

ok, so how much has it gone up in the last 10 years?

Also, for your information, cows are not holy.

I am eating a chocolate donut.

I hate myself.

But I worked so hard today (and it will be tonight, too), that I needed to reward myself.

Seems I have been doing that a lot in the last year.

My feet hurt!
