As I understand it, the options will be mutual funds, both stocks and bonds, both no- load and managed. Thus, the "survivorship factor" would be mitigated by professional anticipation and/or diversification. Also, it is a reasonable assumption that stabilizing factors in equities trading in the United States have increased to such a degree that a speculative bubble of the magnitude of '29 would not occur. Also, by the way, if one were to have invested just before, or even just as, the '29 run up occurred, it only took several years to get back on track. To have suffered the 20plus timeframe for recouping required investing at the top of the bubble. Most people would therefore still do fine, since they would not invest most of their money at the very top. The risks of not coming out ahead of 2% are actually quite small..........
