Anyone with a well balanced portfolio of asset classes lost to the "market", which I suppose we mean the S&P 500. Bonds prices were killed the last year or two. I would argue the S&P, being about 25% tech stocks, is not as diversified as people think. Tech did great the last 20 years, and maybe they will continue. But it is risky to JUST invest in the S&P. |
