yoshiwara Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 (edited) 40 million dollars kept in a cookie jar since 1974 will be worth exactly 40 million dollars today and can be exchanged for exactly the same number of new dollar notes.

yoshiwara Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Here's the answer. $188,666,125.76 And here's the link http://www.usinflationcalculator.com/ Well if we are talking about inflation and that calculator is a fun calculator, just work out the inflation rate between 1980 and 2005 and then factor in that $100 of gold you bought in 1980 would cash out at $100 in 2005 and you find that your gold will have lost over 80% of its value. A total disaster. 25 years of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A total disaster. 25 years of it. Agreed re the price of gold. However, it traded in a huge range during that timeframe so anybody who felt gold was the correct asset to have their capital invested in would/should have been actively buying and selling to take advantage of the trading range. I'm a firm non-believer in the buy and hold investment strategy for any form of investment. The market (all markets) never move in only one direction - you have to take advantage of the ups and downs. Lord save us from a stable/stagnant market!!

Ta22 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 40 millions in the hand of the right person can mean much much more in the 39 years that passes .you can do much less now with 40 million now then you have it in 1974 .Is just paper number if you do not know how to use it .
