>>But even taking your inflation rate since 1982, you still get 9.3 x 0.2 (should be 0.15 but I'm being generous here) x 0.57 (your inflation rate) and AT BEST you get 1.06 or a 6% gain in 33 years (excluding dividends). This is the average annual gain of only 0.1%. This is far less than what the public is told and is certainly not worth the risks.<< Isn't it? Does any other investment do any better? If stocks deliver 0.1%, but everything else delivers -10%, then stocks look like a pretty darn good investment to me. Katherine
