It ' s clearly too late for anyone to see but , I was referring to the straw man above my reply . I am a fucking liberal , but I ' m willing to call out liberals when they straw man conservatives because this isn ' t a team game and we ' re not scoring points . But you already blatantly misunderstood me , mocked me for that misunderstanding , and everyone who was going to see it saw it . So good on you I guess . <| sep |> Sure I ' m interested in your Popolios . Which would you prefer Rockruff or Vulpix ? <| sep |> That still depends on the state . Your senate or president vote should still matter , might even matter more . Everyone should vote , but protesting is still a way to make your voice heard . <| sep |> Assume the following You put $ 1000 into SPY , a popular SP 500 ETF on 12312000 . You then put a hundred additional dollars into SPY on the last day of each year . You reinvested your dividends . You were able to buy fractional shares . You had no transaction costsBetween 123100 and today , you would have invested $ 2500 . As of right now , you ' d own about 24 . 3 shares of SPY , with a fair market value of $ 5362 . That represents a 6 . 58 % annual return over that 16 year period . Inflation has been more like 12 % in that same time frame .
