Reading the results
Returns are computed from monthly adjusted prices in US dollars, meaning stock splits and reinvested dividends are included. A euro investor's result would additionally move with the USD/EUR exchange rate. And the obvious but essential caveat: these are the results of one specific stock picked with hindsight — past performance tells you what happened, not what happens next.
If numbers like these tempt you to invest, the boring path usually wins: a diversified index fund bought monthly. See how to start investing in Europe, compare costs in the broker comparison, or project your own plan with the compound interest calculator.
