The Power of Long-Term Investing: How Early Stakes in McDonald's, Amazon, and Shopify Could Have Multiplied Your Money

An investment of $10,000 in McDonald's stock 20 years ago would be worth about $195,000 today, showing the power of long-term investing.

McDonald's has a long track record of growth and resilience, and still has room to expand its 40,000+ locations worldwide.

Shopify is growing revenue by 30%+ annually as its ecommerce platform attracts more merchant customers.

Amazon has massive revenue from diverse business units including ecommerce, web services, and advertising.

Lawsuits and regulations are risks for Amazon, but its strong business should power growth for decades.
