Why is our CEO getting massive bonuses again? Where is the “shareholder value” in losing investors money???
Comparison of $1000 invested 5 years ago
JPMorgan Chase (JPM): $2,040 (+104%)
Citigroup (C): $1,861 (+86.1%)
S&P 500 (SPY): $1,778 (+77.8%)
Bank of America (BAC): $1,734 (+73.3%)
Wells Fargo (WFC): $1,729 (+72.9%)
High-Yield Savings: $1,220-$1,246 (+22-24.6%)
PNC Financial (PNC): $1,128 (+12.8%)
U.S. Bancorp (USB): $971 (-2.9%)
Key Takeaway: JPMorgan Chase significantly outperformed its peers and the broader market, while the S&P 500 would have beaten most individual bank stocks. The high-yield savings account would have provided steady, predictable returns but lagged behind the best equity performers. U.S. Bancorp was the only stock in your list that actually lost value over the 5-year period.
