FYI: The 35 year period from 1930 to 1964 produced a total return of 2234% or 9.4% on an annual basis for the S&P 500 index.
The 35 year period from 1965 to 1999 produced a total return of 5947% or 12.4% on an annual basis for the S&P 500 index.
The 19 year period from 2000 to 2018 produced a total return of 147% or 4.9% on an annual basis for the S&P 500 index.
One of these things is not like the others.
To put this into perspective, for the 35 year period from 2000-2034 to earn the same return as the 1930-1964 time frame, the S&P 500 would need to earn roughly 15% per year from 2019-2034.
