I Am Now Beating Gold By 4.54% Per Year For The Past 13.12 Years

The table below shows the dates and amounts of all deposits to my family's seven brokerage accounts since I started investing in 2006.  The table below also shows how much each deposit would have grown to had I invested them in a bond that returns 11.44% per year.  You can also manipulate the table below in this spreadsheet.

Today's Date:         01/02/20 
ROI (annual %): 11.44 
Final Balance:  $486,697.25

Had I invested all the above deposits into a bond returning 11.44% per year, we would have a balance of $486,697.25 today.

The following image summarizes my family's brokerage account balances totaling $486,697.25:




Gold since November 22, 2006 has appreciated 6.90% per year on average.

You can review my December 31, 2018 post to verify the above data through then.  The following images show the single deposit since then:



The following two images show the current balances in all seven brokerage accounts:


The share prices that Schwab and TD Ameritrade display do not always match.  When they do not match, I entered the lower of the two in my spreadsheet.  So the account values in my spreadsheet are slightly lower than the account values that Schwab and TD Ameritrade display.

But the cash balances and share counts in my spreadsheet exactly match the cash balances and share counts that Schwab and TD Ameritrade display.
