I don't think the market risk is worth it for an extra 2% return vs passbook savings.

75% from March 2003 to today is much more than 2% over passbook savings rates. Even the 21% return since March 2004 to today is much better than 2% over passbook savings. Remember, in 2004 interest rates were still around 3%, not like today.

What do you think the market risk is worth then? Passbook saving pay what - 4.5% or so? How much do you want from the stock market to not consider it "flattish"?
