Hi Bart -

Thanks for making the calculation.

Here is the formula I found on the Investopedia.com site(http://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/cagr.asp)

Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR):

The compound annual growth rate is calculated by taking the nth root of the total percentage growth rate, where n is the number of years in the period being considered.

This can be written as follows:

                                          (1 / # of years) - 1
CAGR = (ending amount / beginning amount)

==========================================================

Sir John Templeton was one investor I followed in the 1970's. He achieved a 16% compounded growth rate over 20 years between 1958-1978.
