RE:Note to whodathunkitThe capital portion doubled. Then add in the dividends. That works out to be about a 150% gain over 10 years. I'll take that any day.
Get rich quick is a mugs game. True wealth is accumulated over time by investing in good quality blue chip dividend paying equities. Over time the capital value goes up all the while collecting and reinvesting the dividends. At the end of the day you have a solid group of investments that pay you a nice income to retire on.
