That's a bit mean spirited, if you were offered 5% compounding (linear) for 22 years, right now, would you take it?

Apologies I wasn't trying to be mean-spirited. Just trying to gain a little more understanding.

But today a 6 month term deposit might be 3%? Back then was about 7-8% - so completely different environments.....

Regardless right now could go buy Argosy at 4.61% yield, and even KPG is 4.32% (after tax).

But $92000 (or an extra 44k approx.) if dividends reinvested annually at an equal rate. And Allah alone knows what if reinvested on receipt. (quarterly)
