$100 Invested In This Stock 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

One Reddit user just gave the economy subreddit a glimpse into what panic looks like in real time.
In the popular r/Economy <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/economy/comments/1jyig4s/ok_i_sold_all_of_my_holdings_and_am_100_cash/">subreddit</a>, the user said they sold all of their holdings and are &#8220;100% cash until 2026 midterms because this administration is full of 6-year-olds.&#8221;
They added, &#8220;All of my personal investments have turned into 100% cash and sold when the market was very low (I'm still kicking myself in the ass everyday for doing that).&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Market Timing vs. Market Patience</h2>
Despite the regret, they said they couldn't handle the volatility anymore, even though they were invested in a broadly diversified fund: &#8220;I feel like I'm day trading Vanguard Total Stock ETF. It's just so horrendous.&#8221;
Reactions flooded in, and the general consensus was that selling low and holding cash isn't the win the user might think it is.
&#8220;You want to buy more when the market is down, not sell,&#8221; one user said.
Another pointed out the trap of market timing: &#8220;If you think you timed the top, now you gotta time the bottom. Probably gonna get mad if the market goes up.&#8221;
Several commenters also noted how common this mistake is, especially among younger investors. &#8220;Selling in 2009 is my greatest regret,&#8221; one user shared. &#8220;The best buying opportunities always look the most awful and scary.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cash Isn&#8217;t as Safe as It Feels</h2>
While the original poster parked their money in a high-yield savings account, multiple users reminded them that cash isn't immune to erosion.
&#8220;The dollar <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44768702/foreigners-dump-the-dollar-gold-and-yen-act-as-safe-haven-jpmorgan-helps-stock-market-cooler-ppi">isn&#8217;t safe</a> right now,&#8221; one comment read. &#8220;You&#8217;re protected against market volatility but <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44764554/consumer-sentiment-crashes-to-3-year-lows-as-inflation-expectations-spike-to-1981-highs">inflation</a> is going to make your cash worth less than other, more safe investment choices.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Politics, Tariffs and Uncertainty</h2>
Politics were central to the original post, and the comment section didn't shy away either.
Many mentioned President Donald Trump's tariff policies and their ripple effects on markets. One user explained, &#8220;[Trump] <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44779286/trumps-tariff-pause-stirs-markets-goldman-sachs-reverses-recession-call-and-more-this-week-in-economy">paused tariffs for 90 days</a> to all the countries (except China) who were selling US bonds on the open market, causing the interest rates to rise.&#8221;
Another summed up the frustration with policy-driven volatility: &#8220;Markets dislike uncertainty. As you can see from these comments, certainty is in short supply. Nobody knows. Do your best.&#8221;
Some took it further, blaming both sides of the aisle. &#8220;This isn't going to be a quick recession like COVID. We have a few problems we have to unwind and I'm pessimistic there is anyone capable of leading us out of this, Republicans or Democrats. It's scary out there.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">So Was It a Bad Move?</h2>
Most think so. &#8220;If you hadn&#8217;t sold you would have lost nothing,&#8221; one said. &#8220;Investing by your politics is foolish.&#8221;
Others were more empathetic. &#8220;There is no wrong move if it gives you peace of mind,&#8221; a top commenter added. &#8220;You might miss out on some gains. That's irrelevant if the stress and potential losses can alter your life plans.&#8221;
Still, the original poster might be left with the worst of both worlds: locking in losses from selling low and watching inflation chip away at their savings.

Elon Musk is the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/01/43101102/elon-musk-the-richest-man-in-the-world-is-estimated-to-earn-over-23-million-every-single-hour-of-the-day-heres-how-hes-spending-it">richest man in the world</a>. Not marginally — dramatically. Even 1% of his net worth is more than most people could spend in multiple lifetimes.
But in a 2022 post on X, Musk pushed back on the idea that Tesla operates like a traditional hierarchy.
"Everyone eats same food, uses same restrooms, etc — no executive chef or other ivory tower stuff," he wrote. "There shouldn't be this workers vs management two-class system. Everyone is a worker."

Now in 2025, and Musk is still fighting to reinstate a $56 billion Tesla compensation package that was struck down last year by a Delaware court.&nbsp;
The court's decision was grounded in findings that the package was negotiated by directors lacking independence from Musk and that shareholders were misled by flawed disclosures during the approval process. Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick described the <a href="https://www.reuters.com/legal/judge-rules-favor-plaintiffs-challenging-musks-tesla-pay-package-2024-01-30/">compensation as an "unfathomable sum"</a> and highlighted the undue influence Musk had over the board, noting close personal ties with several directors .
Meanwhile, factory workers at Tesla's plants in Texas and Nevada are reportedly earning as little as $22 an hour. Even at the top of the pay scale, hourly wages max out around $39, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-much-tesla-factory-workers-paid-per-hour-us">Business Insider</a> reported last year.&nbsp;
Trending: With shares starting at $1.52, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-a-10k-bet-on-health-care-originals-could-have-skyrocketed-your-portfolio">this could be your chance to invest in the future of healthcare</a>.
According to Tesla's proxy statement, Musk appeared to take home nothing in 2022—at least on paper. The company reported his total compensation as zero for the year, which technically brought the CEO-to-median-worker pay ratio down to 0:1.&nbsp;
But that snapshot doesn't tell the whole story. Just one year earlier, in 2021, Musk exercised a massive batch of stock options that were set to expire, realizing gains of $23.45 billion. <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1318605/000156459022024064/tsla-def14a_20220804.htm?utm_source=chatgpt.com">Tesla's filings show</a> his "total realized compensation" for 2021 was $734,762,107, and based on the median employee salary of around $40,000 that year, the pay ratio came out to 18,043 to 1.&nbsp;
Musk's supporters argue that his compensation was performance-based and tied to milestones that drove massive value for shareholders. Critics point out that while Tesla's valuation soared, the workers powering its growth haven't seen the same rewards — and in some cases, have even seen wages reduced.
The legal battle over Musk's record-breaking pay is ongoing. But so is the conversation about whether <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44778739/elon-musks-political-fallout-fuels-record-dump-of-used-tesla-cars-now-selling-for-thousands-below-market-value">Tesla really operates</a> without a two-class system — or whether that idea only works in theory, not on the assembly line.

In the current market session, Norfolk Southern Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSC#NYSE">NSC</a>) price is at $219.84, after a 2.71% spike. However, over the past month, the stock fell by 5.14%, and in the past year, by 10.13%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is undervalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1745013621_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Norfolk Southern P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 33.44 in the Ground Transportation industry, Norfolk Southern Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 18.5. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1745013621_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Over the past month, the stock fell by 7.86%, and in the past year, by 19.82%.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1745010019_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>How Does Synopsys P/E Compare to Other Companies?</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 381.69 in the Software industry, Synopsys Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 49.96. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1745010019_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

In a <a href="https://youtube.com/shorts/TcpVd9VmE7M?si=oahf9HaAfL1BgPEU">2023 YouTube short</a>, O'Leary tackled the question head-on: How much do you need to live a comfortable or wealthy life? His answer? That depends on your lifestyle. But for many people, he says, half a million bucks in the bank can do the trick.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">Many are rushing to grab 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.26/share!</a></li>
<li>Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/5mil-nest-egg-adv">The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
</ul>
"It's all about lifestyle," he says in the clip. "You can live off half a million bucks in the bank and do nothing else to make money."
Sounds too good to be true? It depends on what you do with that money and more importantly, what you don't do with it.
O'Leary explains if you're investing wisely, you could reasonably earn around 5% annually in fixed income with "very little risk." That's $25,000 a year without touching your principal — enough to cover modest living expenses, especially if you own your home and live in a low-cost area. Want to push that income a little higher? According to O'Leary, you could aim for 8.5% to 9% returns by mixing in equities, if you're willing to "ride the volatility."

That added risk comes with potential reward but also potential stress. The market doesn't always cooperate, and while equities historically trend upward, there's no guarantee they'll behave when you need them to. If the idea of watching your <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44316684/warren-buffett-said-bad-news-is-an-investors-best-friend-and-if-youre-not-ready-for-stocks-to-drop-50-you-shouldnt-be-investing">portfolio dip during a downturn</a> sends your blood pressure soaring, you might want to stick with the slower but steadier option.
But O'Leary isn't just handing out ideas — he's got strong feelings about what not to do.
"Do not invest in your brother's restaurant or a bowling alley or a bar," he warns. "Or all that other crap. You'll lose your money on that."
Point taken.

Still, his $500,000 plan isn't for everyone. Even at a 6% return, that's $30,000 a year — not exactly luxury living, especially with rising medical costs, rent, and a grocery bill that seems to laugh at budgets.&nbsp;
Even with higher returns near 9%, you'd be working with about $45,000 a year — enough to get by, but probably not enough to quit your job unless your house is paid off, you have no debt, and you live a lean, frugal lifestyle. O'Leary did say it all comes down to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43539942/are-you-rich-heres-what-americans-think-you-need-to-be-considered-wealthy-2">your standard of living</a>, but for most people, living comfortably on that setup would require a serious commitment to keeping expenses low.
O'Leary's advice is simple, direct, and depending on your lifestyle…surprisingly doable. But his real point might be this: the path to financial freedom isn't always paved with millions. Sometimes, it's about knowing what you want, avoiding bad investments, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43759618/charlie-munger-said-the-hardest-part-of-getting-rich-is-the-first-100000-but-from-there-it-snowballs-and-you-can-ease-off-the-gas">letting compound interest do the heavy lifting</a>.

Author&nbsp;Robert Kiyosaki&nbsp;cautioned about the potential for significant job losses in the near future. He urged individuals to pivot towards entrepreneurship and bolster their financial education.
What Happened: In a post on X, Kiyosaki voiced his apprehensions about the evolving job market on April 16. He highlighted the millions of jobs lost in the past two years and projected that the trend will continue, affecting millions more.
Seizing this moment, Kiyosaki advised individuals to shift their attention from job security to entrepreneurship. He proposed that&nbsp;joining a network marketing company&nbsp;could be a cost-effective way to develop entrepreneurial skills. 
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">BEFORE YOU LOSE YOUR JOB In the last two years…. Millions have lost their jobs. In the next few years…. Millions more will lose their jobs. If you are feeling you may lose your job….best prepare now. Turn a bad event to a great opportunity to stop being an employee,…
&mdash; Robert Kiyosaki (@theRealKiyosaki) <a href="https://twitter.com/theRealKiyosaki/status/1912508493338157069?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 16, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Despite potential challenges, such as high rejection rates and unstable income, Kiyosaki views this as a feasible option for those at risk of unemployment.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44550875/robert-kiyosaki-thinks-saving-in-cash-is-a-bad-idea-heres-why">Robert Kiyosaki Thinks Saving in Cash Is a Bad Idea. Here&#8217;s Why.</a>
Kiyosaki has been a consistent voice warning about economic downturns and the devaluation of the U.S. dollar. 
He is a staunch supporter&nbsp;of assets like Bitcoin, gold,&nbsp;and silver and continues to stress the significance of financial education and taking proactive measures towards financial&nbsp;independence in an unpredictable economy.
Why It Matters: Kiyosaki&#8217;s warning comes at a time when the global economy is still grappling with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. His advice to focus on entrepreneurship and financial education is particularly relevant as traditional job markets continue to evolve and become more uncertain. 
His endorsement of network marketing companies as a means to gain entrepreneurial skills could potentially influence many to consider this path. 
Furthermore, his advocacy for&nbsp;assets like bitcoin, gold, and&nbsp;silver underscores the growing interest in alternative investment avenues amidst economic instability.

Robert Kiyosaki Says Millions Could Be Out of Work — Here's His Game Plan

Looking into the current session, MasTec Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTZ#NYSE">MTZ</a>) shares are trading at $117.37, after a 0.03% decrease. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 6.18%, but over the past year, it actually went up by 38.92%. With questionable short-term performance like this, and great long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1745006438_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Comparing MasTec P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
MasTec has a better P/E ratio of 57.0 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 35.39 of the Construction &amp; Engineering industry. Ideally, one might believe that MasTec Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1745006438_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.
