FYI: If you invested money into the S&P 500 in 2009 and reinvested dividends, you would have enjoyed a hefty 191.835% return as of early 2019. That’s an 11.305% annualized return after adjusting for inflation, which is pretty darn sweet.
Had you invested your money in the year 2000, however, the results aren’t quite as rosy. Your investment would yield only 35.395% total, for an annualized return of 1.608%.
This just goes to show how volatile investing in stocks can be. Your return depends a lot on where you invest your money, but the results can be skewed drastically by when you invest, too.
With that in mind, not everyone wants to drop a ton of additional cash into stocks — especially not when they’re close to retirement age.
