  • Read Edward Gibbon's "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire"
    No one knows how well the stock market will do over the next 50 years. Could be over 10% annualized returns, but also could be negative returns. Looking back over the last 150 years is not necessarily accurate.
  • >> also could be negative returns

    Nah, could not be.
