Stock Market returns
Scott W.
Not to sidetrack to a stock market discussion, sure if you go back 80 years the number is correct. But my investment horizon is much less. In any 10 year period the return can be negative as well. Also I think there are fundamental shifts in the market dynamics, demographics as well as the overall economy that long term average growth in the stock market will be lower in the future than the past. Thats why I am diversifying into Real Estate. I still have a sizable sum in the stock market but it makes me queasy.
