Expert Outlook: Carvana Through The Eyes Of 21 Analysts

There's one milestone that never loses its appeal: doubling your money. Whether it&#8217;s a retirement account, an income-focused portfolio or a long-term bet on private markets, the math behind turning $100,000 into $200,000 is more straightforward than many realize.&nbsp;
Knowing that math can help investors set realistic expectations, and spot opportunities hiding in plain sight.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Rule of 72</h2>
At the core of this calculation is a simple formula: divide 72 by the expected annual return. That gives you an estimate of how many years it will take to double your money, assuming the return compounds annually and stays consistent.
For example, an investment earning 6% per year will double in about 12 years (72 ÷ 6 = 12). At 9%, it takes just 8 years. And at 12%, it takes only 6.
The Rule of 72 isn't perfect. It becomes less accurate at higher rates of return or with non-annual compounding, but it's close enough for back-of-the-napkin planning. And for most investors, that's exactly what's needed.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Gap Between Traditional and Alternative Returns</h2>
When applied to the types of returns investors commonly chase, the Rule of 72 reveals something striking: most traditional investment strategies are slow.
High-yield savings accounts (4%–5%): Even with today's elevated rates, it takes 14–18 years to double your money.
Investment-grade bonds (5%–6%): These get you there in 12–14 years, assuming no defaults and reinvested coupons.
Broad market index funds (7%–9%): This is the long-term historical average for U.S. equities, pointing to an 8–10 year doubling window.
These are solid strategies and often the foundation of a healthy portfolio. But they're not fast.
That's why more capital is flowing toward private investments that aim higher.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Private Investments with Double-Digit Targets</h2>
Accredited investors who are willing to lock up capital longer, the Rule of 72 shows just how powerful higher returns can be.
Private equity and venture funds often target IRRs of 15% or more. At that level, doubling your money takes under 5 years.
One example is the <a href="https://nada.sjv.io/c/1193480/3013486/19981">U.S. Home Equity Fund</a>, a private real estate fund that invests in home equity agreements (HEAs). These contracts give homeowners cash today in exchange for a share of their home's future appreciation, without debt or monthly payments. The fund targets a 14%–17% net IRR, translating to a doubling period of just 4 to 5 years.
That puts it on pace with traditional private equity but tied to residential real estate, one of the most stable asset classes available. The owner-occupied home equity market is valued at nearly $35 trillion, the largest store of wealth in the U.S.
See also: This fund gives you access to the $35 trillion home equity market&nbsp; without buying or managing property. <a href="https://nada.sjv.io/c/1193480/3013486/19981">Get the full details on how accredited investors are tapping into America's largest stores of wealth with built-in downside protection.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Math Cuts Both Ways</h2>
The Rule of 72 also helps put underperformance in perspective. An investment earning just 3% a year takes 24 years to double. Inflation alone could outpace that. And a 2% return? You're looking at 36 years.
In other words, time is not on the side of low returns.
This is why high-net-worth investors, and increasingly institutional allocators, are overweighting alternatives. It's not just for diversification. It's about compressing the timeline between capital outlay and value creation.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Investors Can Do With This</h2>
Knowing how long it takes to double your money based on projected returns can shape everything from asset allocation to liquidity planning.
Long horizon with low liquidity needs? A 15% IRR private investment could play a larger role.
Need flexibility and short-term access? Stick with bonds or high-yield cash products, but understand the tradeoff.
Trying to balance both? Layering public equities with higher-yielding private debt or equity funds may shorten the doubling timeline without adding uncontrolled risk.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Final Thought</h2>
Most investors chase performance without understanding what it means in practical terms. But asking "how long until this doubles my money?" forces a clearer view of which investments are building wealth, and which are just treading water.
Some paths take decades. Others just a few years. Knowing the difference is what separates passive savers from intentional wealth builders.

10 Analysts Have This To Say About Visteon

Ramaco Resources (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/METC#NASDAQ">METC</a>) announced Tuesday that a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) conducted by Fluor Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLR#NYSE">FLR</a>) found its Brook <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mining" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">mine project</a> in Wyoming to be both commercially and technologically viable, with a potential pre-tax net present value (NPV) of up to $1.2 billion.
&#8220;This report marks an important milestone in Ramaco&#8217;s transition to become both a rare earth and critical mineral, as well as a metallurgical coal producer,&#8221; Randall Atkins, Ramaco&#8217;s Chairman and CEO, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.pressviewer.com/profiles/investor/NewsPrint.asp?v=6&amp;b=2352&amp;ID=148031&amp;m=rl&amp;g=1126" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a> in the press release. &#8220;The development of our Brook mine deposit is important not only to Ramaco but also to our country.&#8221;
Fluor, a global engineering and construction firm, has conducted the PEA, which will be released on July 8 in its entirety. The findings build upon earlier technical assessments and confirm that the Brook mine contains the largest known unconventional <a href="https://ramacoresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Ramaco-Summary-Fluor-PEA-Jul-1.pdf">U.S. deposit</a> of rare earth elements (REEs) and critical minerals extracted from coal and carbonaceous ore.

The PEA estimates an 8% NPV of $1.197 billion and a 10% NPV of $898 million, based on an initial capital cost of $473 million (excluding a 22% contingency). The mine is projected to generate annual adjusted EBITDA of $143 million by 2029 on revenues of $378 million, with a robust internal rate of return (IRR) of 38%.
The mine could produce 1,242 tons of oxide annually, including 456 tons of high-value materials like neodymium, praseodymium, scandium, gallium, germanium, dysprosium, and terbium.
These elements are essential for magnets, defense systems, electronics, and clean energy technologies. The mine&#8217;s expected 42-year initial lifespan is expected to tap less than 4% of its estimated 1.7 million tons of rare earth oxides.
&#8220;When we are in production, the Brook Mine will be one of only two domestic sources of rare earth elements,&#8221; Atkins said. &#8220;However, it will be the only domestic source of both heavy rare earth elements and critical minerals that are vital to our nation&#8217;s defense industry,&#8221; he added.
Ramaco plans to process ore using a flow sheet that involves crushing, purification, separation, and calcination, with some steps utilizing proprietary technology. The soft, clay-rich geology of the deposit enables more efficient extraction compared to traditional hard rock sources, thereby minimizing environmental and capital costs.
Initial mining has begun to supply material for pilot-scale testing. Ramaco expects to launch an on-site pilot plant in the fourth quarter of 2025, with full commercial testing to commence by mid-2026.
Rare earth elements are vital to the modern economy, powering everything from smartphones and electric vehicles to guided missile systems. &#8220;This will be America&#8217;s rare earth mine,&#8221; Atkins noted. &#8220;China may now be dominating these critical materials. But this will be America&#8217;s rare earth mine.&#8221;
Price Watch: Ramco Resources closed at $9.98 on Tuesday. The stock is down 2.73% year-to-date.
