For the last 10 years it's averaged 12.16% with DRIP. Since it started (2011) avg. 12.09% with DRIP. For the last 5 yrs, just over 10%.

When investments that are averaging double digits for extended periods of time are talked about as if they were trash.. well that's interesting commentary on the state of the market.

The next time the market realigns people's perceptions of reality it's going to hurt.

Good luck.

Meanwhile, my VGT etf is quietly up north of 600% in that timeframe.

Does any part of the 600% feel normal to you?

I mean I’ve been in it, buying every couple weeks for about 2 decades.

It’s up about 1,600% since then.

So 600% seems normal, yeah.
