The Illusion of Double-Digit Returns: A Reality Check

Sensex has multiplied over 25 years! That's a phenomenal 11.8% CAGR. But let's be realistic. After adjusting for inflation, it's closer to **5.66%**. Even if we assume this incredible performance continues for the next 25 years, we're still looking at a more modest 8.5% CAGR. The truth is, that consistently high returns are rare. Most countries, including India, have struggled to achieve double-digit returns over long periods. The key to successful investing is to avoid overpaying for stocks, no matter how enticing the story. Remember, patience is a virtue in investing. https://preview.redd.it/bi71ubrnok6e1.png?width=913&format=png&auto=webp&s=ffce1077c89bcc0ff9df9b7cd6914b4f785c9c0e P.C: Sahil Kapoor
