<<because norms of investment returns WILL RETURN - MEANING THAT THESE FUNDS WILL DROP IN VALUE AT SOME FUTURE TIME.>>

I don't see reversion to the mean requiring what you claim. Market averages could simply meander over a narrow ranges for a few years- as I believe the DOW has done in the past- and still accomplish mean reversion.

P.S. to Dr. Jack:
<<unless you are receiving those barbaric and anachronistic payments known as dividends.>>

I'm not sure whether you were striving for irony here or not. But it strikes me as tad premature to so breezily dismiss the form for return that has historically provided half the return that equities have provided. N'est-ce pas?
