[quote=Anonymous]Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Indeed, the very best and very worst historical stocks are probably the riskiest. They are likely to have very high or very low performance in the future, but not necessarily in the same direction. I'm a Ph.D. finance professor, but this is a basic high school math calculation. Just take the total gross increase, then annualize by raising to the power 1/years, and subtract 1. For example, a stock that doubled in 5 years got a compound return of 2^(1/5) -1 = 14.87%. A stock that multiplied fivefold in 10 years got a compound return of 5^(1/10) - 1 = 17.46%.[/quote]
