Adjusted for inflation, half of the decades the S&P 500 yields ZERO return.You could buy the S&P 500 each month for the next 20 years, and it wouldn't be out of the ordinary if at the end of these 20 years you would have had ZERO returns - adjusted for inflation.
>>62451639So i should exit now and get back in in 2040?
>>62451639I mean, it's still worthwhile as an inflation hedge and therefore the base of your portfolio. But yeah, an index fund won't make you rich. It just allows you to save your money. The only way to make money is by picking and trading individual stocks, which is beyond what most people can do while maintaining their full time job.

I’m done researching everyday and envisioning my theses playing out and adjusting fuck this shit
>>62451639The truth of the matter is, most index investors are retards. They’re too stupid to buy AMD, NVDA, MU, and SNDK. They won’t even buy SPCX which will be the first $50T company in history
