Which would you rather have?

[Scustin Bieburr]

Would you rather have an asset that you purchase for 200,000 dollars(could be land, a collectable, house, stocks) which is guaranteed to double in value every five years(option A)

Or

5 mil in cash or a mix of cash and stocks(of your choice) right now?

 

[Buddy]

Only one of these is guaranteed and it's actually land

 

[Turbulent]

5mil

 

[Scustin Bieburr]

Only one of these is guaranteed and it's actually land

If you had 5 mil you could spend it on various lands and houses.

How much they go up in value though is questionable.

And before anyone asks: the asset would in fact be in an area that doesn't get assaulted by natural disasters.

 

[Sad Bunny]

Five million right now.

Dumb question.

5 mill
invest wisely
And I have more than 6.4mil in 5years

 

[cyndaquil]

200000 × 2^5 = $6,400,000

So it would need to double 5 times to be worth more than $5 mil
That is 25 years.

When you could have $5 mil right now...
Granted it will not double in value but you're guaranteed it.

Yeah gimme the 5 mil...

 

[King Poetic]

5 million cash

U not guaranteed to live every 5 years to see that asset grow

 

[cyndaquil]

5 million cash

U not guaranteed to live every 5 years to see that asset grow

If it doubled every year rather than 5 years it would be a much more compelling scenario cuz at 10 years you're up $200 mil

I think that's worth risking never getting it

 

[maxamusa]

Five million right now.

Dumb question.

There's been so many variations of this type of scenario

"high credit score or a duffel bag full of paper" etc.....




its really telling

5 mill easy
