eWharthog <Is this a trick question? $1000 of stock is worth the same as $1000 of bonds. The time to wait is zero years.> Sorry, but I meant if you waited after the 1st year, you are behind in stocks ... as the bonds are at 1070 and stocks at 1030, so how long do you have to wait for it to catch up. Answera ~ 30years... Which is why (beginning today) I assign a <5% probability that stocks will outperform bonds over the next 30 years. (note, I am not positive on bonds short term yet as I feel rates will continue to rise till market keels over at which time I think buying zero's be a good idea) imho
