Finance, a la shmoop. What is an annualized return? Alright people, well

when you invest a dollar you hope or even expect to get more than a dollar [ATM machine]

back, at some point. And let's say you invested that dollar in Terminators

Closet -a leading dealer in cybernetic body enhancements. And it went from $1 a

annualizing it meaning, that at that rate you are more than doubling your money on [spreadsheet shown]

an annualized return basis. And that's more than enough dough to keep
