Any financial calculator will compute these results, but we have done the day-to-day returns below for those who want to see how this amazing compounding effect actually works. If you want to verify this, use any online calculator, like the one HERE and put in one of the daily performance rates above as annual interest, and 252 years as the period, to fool it into using daily interest instead of annual, and you'll get these same results. (252 is the number of market days in a year, used for all of these calculations.)
