it's the annual value of the next-best investment of the cash. - amanda "internet" jones Feb 9, 17:07 13
- fwiw, the major miners use 6% for developed world, 10% for places with high country risk, and that's based on about a century of operational history. -- nm - mafic Feb 9, 17:38 2
  - sure, because their roi is predictable based on history, and their portfolios are varied enough to mitigate some risk. - amanda "internet" jones Feb 9, 17:46 1
    - absolutely. I'm just always fairly conservative with it. - mafic Feb 9, 17:52
- Why can't you say: I will have $10 in my account in 5 years. For me to get $10 in 5 years, I would need $9.06 in my account at 2% interest. - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 9, 17:10 8
  - sure, you can. but what interest rate do you use? isn't that what you asked? - amanda "internet" jones Feb 9, 17:19 7
    - Oohhhh.. I see now. Sorry I got confused. You used the interest rate from credit cards. While I was thinking of an like a CD account. - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 9, 17:23 3
      - so like what I'm saying is "what would you get for the money if not spending it on tuition and interest? -- nm - amanda "internet" jones Feb 9, 17:24 2
        
        Right. Thank you. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 9, 17:25
        
        oops. it's a combination of the cost of your debt and your equity. I use credit card rates for me. YMMV. -- nm - amanda "internet" jones Feb 9, 17:25
    - just give him the bottom line! -- nm - cupixie Feb 9, 17:20 2
      - he's using like a bank interest rate. he has his answer. I use different numbers because I make different assumptions and have different risk toleranc -- nm - amanda "internet" jones Feb 9, 17:22 1
        
        Yes, makes sense. Thank you. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 9, 17:24
- wiki says it well. - amanda "internet" jones Feb 9, 17:09
dumb it down for him, cakey -- nm - cupixie Feb 9, 17:04 2
- I don't see you replying so I take it addition and subtraction are the far limits of your ability. :P -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 9, 17:05 1
