A Decade In Charts: US Stocks Prove Their Long-Term Value

FYI: (Click On Article Title At Top Of Google)

The old stock market adage that you should sell at the top and buy at the bottom might need to be revised. The US stock market hit a peak 10 years ago on October 9 2007, before starting to collapse during the financial crisis. And yet anyone who bought the S&P 500 then would by now have doubled their money.

As the chart shows, the US stock market has returned far more than stocks in the rest of the world, or bonds, or even gold. Prices of the precious metal surged during the crisis, as investors positioned for disaster, and inflation. But over the past five years, as inflation failed to materialise, gold has subsided.
