Thanks Ted. If one uses that to look at rolling ten year periods (there are 81), in 65 of them stocks (S&P 500) outperform 10 year Treasuries and 3 month Treasuries, in 9 of them the 10 years outperform, and in 7 of them cash (3 month T-bill) is king.
Thank you for the excellent summary table that you referenced. In general, the table demonstrates the validity of the convention stock/bond wisdom. However, the 2017 bottomline displayed contains a real shocker.
The cumulative return differential between these 3 investment categories is really staggering. The equity cumulative return is nearly 400 thousand dollars whereas the bond categories are both well below 10 thousand dollars. That's a huge WOW!!
