Q. So you see this going on for quite a while? A decade. I think the market could be flat for 10 years. Over 104 years of Dow Jones market history, excluding dividends, all the return was earned in three secular bull markets: 1921 to 1929, 1948 to 1966 and 1982 to 1999. The other 58 years generated a negative return. Had you invested in 1929, it took you 24 years to recoup your initial investment. It took you 27 years if you had invested in 1966, after inflation. All the returns in the market are earned from the market going from a very undervalued level to a very overvalued level. That's the time everyone jumps in -- but it doesn't keep going higher, because who are you going to sell it to? It might be 25 years before you get back to Nasdaq 5000 - even though a year ago, people would have told you that's crazy. cbs.marketwatch.com;
