(10B / 67.5M) ^ (1 / 46) = 1.1147

=> 11.5% compound annual growth rate (CAGR)

Not a bad ROI.

Ha! I did the sum and then went to post and found jimbocoin’s comment. Well done my friend. Now, if only there was some kind of saving/investment that could match/beat 11.5% apr…

Except that pretty close to the real inflation rate.

Oh yeah, absolutely. Expected ROI on housing would be 5-8%. Expected ROI on stocks in the 7-9% range, etc.

M2 money supply long term CAGR is 8-12% globally. So they’re right on track.

Is there a lake in LA? No, they were the Minneapolis Lakers. When they moved to LA they should be the LA Rioters.
