Paul - Some people say that their best investment over their lifetime was their home. The average home is held 7.5 years. I think that the only thing that this proves, is that any good producing asset held over 10 or more years, will be more valuable. Most people are consumers, do not save and want immediate gratification. Simply holding an average producing asset (like a utility and/or good dividend payer), reinvesting the dividends will produce an above average return. This does not occur in stocks anymore. You even stated that the average holding period for a stock is now down to 20 seconds (due to high frequency trading). EKS
