The Annualized Dow Jones Industrial Average Return (Dividends Reinvested) over the 1987-2018 period was 11.32%.

With $34,000 invested in a DJIA index fund in 1987 you would have $944,000 today. That is a gain of $910,000.


$34,000 in 1987 = $76,094 today when adjusted for inflation.

I used an ROI calculator. Those numbers sure seem high.
