Posting this here as further education for those new investors.
But it goes back to a point I've made to you before. You've only ever invested in a strong bull market and for a very short period of time. Over a lifetime of investing, people are happy to average 8% total returns. The S&P lifetime return is 9.6%. This market you are investing in is not normal and will not continue.
After the dot.com crash there was 10 years of poor stock returns in which investors labeled this time period, "the lost decade." I'll give you one clue why. The S&P returned -2% for this entire 10 year period. "This is a reminder to investors that large U.S. stocks can go long periods of time without generating any gains."
