ParticipantHow dare they factor in inflation, taxes, etc… That’s not how we’re supposed to look at things if you listen to Wall Street.
Thanks for the chart.

GuestThe chart is interesting.
The interpretation is misguided:
But historical averages can vary widely depending on their starting and ending points.
In other words, you can prove anything with statistics if you pick and choose your data. Not exactly a revelation.
The interesting conclusion is that there is enough volatility that the “long term” is at least 20+ years.
So there really is not any such thing as “dependable” long-term returns, at least for one person’s working lifetime.
But all investment outcomes are relative. What are the alternatives?

ParticipantIt is a cool chart, but nobody really invests all their money in one year, then brings it all out in another year.
Long-term appreciation averages are more meaningful when people invest a little each year, then take it out bit by bit for retirement.
This chart suggests that you can lower risks by dollar-cost average when entering and diversifying in investments that are not all correlated to the market.
