btw I found the formula here

http://mcs.edgewood.edu/math/post101/compound_fun.htm#solutions

I didn’t know how to do it without excel myself []

Hi Bill

you can use this formula
A = P(1+i)^n
P = beginning amount,
i = interest (annual rate of increase)
n = years invested
A = end amount

So working backwards

2,000,000 = P (1+0.104)^15

2,000,000 = P (1.104)^15

2,000,000 = P(4.410990281)

2,000,000 / 4.410990281= P

P = 453412.92

How about Baldric from blackadder just to be different []

“You are born with five sences, four are for learning and one is for putting your foot in it”

If you are always talking how can you learn?

or “always look where you are going not where you have been”

Don’t let the past drag you back, move on.

Ah the Goodies I loved that show, I remember running home from school to watch it. I would love it to return so my sons can watch it too.

I also liked the “Young ones” and Doctor Who.

Well I typically go to bed around 11 at night and wake up around 6am to go for a morning run I love the mornings.

I am not saying that this is correct but you have so far made 4 posts 3 in this thread.

I think you are already a member and are trying to “feel” the market here.

I applaud you for trying though

just a thought.

Arty ….. are you Blond?

Well Arty now all you have to do is act crazy cut off an ear or something then get paid $2000 a week to stand in a gallery []
