2 Stocks That Turned $1,000 Into $2 Million

The S&P 500 index, arguably the most consistent and proven long-term wealth-building investment mechanism in modern history, averaged a return of 8% per year from 1928 through 2024, which included some big up years and some big down years. If you could get an 8% return every year, you could turn $1,000 into $1 million in about 90 years.
