Thanks for the interesting statistics! Could you share what the source of your data was? > "All I have to do is buy the S&P 500 and sit back and reap the benefits." My biggest investment is an S&P 500 index fund, but as all the disclaimers say: "Past performance is no guarantee of future results." One has to be aware that investing in stocks does have a risk of prolonged bear markets and loss of capital. |

Oh yes, good idea, sorry about that, the source of data was: http://www.moneychimp.com/features/market_cagr.htm
Yes of course, no guarantees. But seeing all the long runs of positive returns vs the short runs of negative returns does boost my confidence.
