> $1 put into the S&P 500 with dividends reinvested would be more than $6 today On April 7 2000 a 30-year Treasury 5.71%. It would be worth $1,063 today and have paid out $1,484.60 in coupons to date. Even if you held those coupons in cash, you'd still have 2.5x'd your money. Modern currencies split their medium-of-currency and store-of-value functions. The plain dollar is for transacting. Cash and cash equivalents are for transporting value across time. |
