$147,017 ...OR ...an Annualized Return of 8.01% over the 5 Years.
The MATH:
$100,000 + :
+5% or $5,000 = $105,000 ...End of Year 1
+5% or $5,250 = $110,250 ...End of Year 2
-0-% or $-0- = $110,250 ...End of Year 3
+27% or $29,767 = $140,017 ...End of Year 4
+5% or $7,000 = $147,017 ...End of Year 5
OK ...Now...what if you made a longer than 10 Year commitment (14 Years) and in exchange you receive a fully earned 10% Bonus on the day of deposit?
$100,000 becomes $110,000 on the day of deposit (assume all else is equal).
The MATH:
$110,000 + :
+5% or $5,500 = $115,500 ...End of Year 1
+5% or $5,775 = $121,275 ...End of Year 2
-0-% or $-0- = $121,275 ...End of Year 3
+27% or $32,744 = $154,019 ...End of Year 4
+5% or $7,700 = $161,719 ...End of Year 5
$161,719 ...OR ...an Annualized Return of 10.09% over the 1st 5 Years (Remember 14 Year commitment for this hypothetical bonus and example).
One more quick example of REAL RISK stated another way:

The Moral of this story...is to Eliminate ALL DOWN YEARS.
Richard Russell, founder and editor of The Dow Theory Letter, put it succinctly when he said, "He Who Loses Least........Wins!"
