Common Mistakes to Avoid

Confusing total return with annualized return

Fix: Total return is the overall gain. Annualized return (CAGR) shows the yearly rate. 100% total return over 10 years is only ~7.2% per year.

Ignoring dividends and distributions

Fix: For accurate returns, include reinvested dividends, not just the price change.
