Sharing my two thoughts on @10kdiver's thoughtful post on CAGR/IRR as I went through the calculations πŸ‘‡πŸ»
@10kdiver Question ❓
➑️ What’s the maximum CAGR for a stock that multiplies by a factor N and taking N years to do so?

My Naive Answer ❌
➑️ Without realising that it was a loaded question, like many ~44%, I chose β€œNo Limit to Max CAGR”
Reflection πŸ€”
➑️ Because N = N, mathematically it < 44.2%, with the sweet spot in 2-3 years.
More importantly, it reminded me why when I am seeking a minimum portfolio CAGR return of at least 25%, I always think about every investment if it can:

1) 3-5X in 3-5 years' time
2) 5-7X in 5-7 years' time
