    correct me if I’m wrong here, but that 11%, to roll with your example, would need to be recovered immediately for that math. Like every month it doesn’t go back up… that’s compounding the lost opportunity. And if 2008 is anything to go by… it’s not just going to go back up, it’s going to take time.

    like, if you expect a certain amount of growth, it’s unlikely you’ll get the 11% plus that “normal” growth back.
