How Much Does the Stock Market Return?
Most analysts agree that historically the stock market has returned an average of 7% — 10% per year over the last 100+ years.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
