Don: Re: "Do you remember all the way back in the summer of 1998 when Brinker began talking about annual returns reverting to the historical mean?" Yes, sure do. Re: "He said then investors should be happy to see the Wilshire 5000 return 10% to 11% per year in the future given the higher valuations being paid." That's not enough. He should change his view so people can earn more. Re: "It is interesting that even with the huge Nasdaq runup the overall return on the Wilshire 5000 since then has been more in line with the historical mean." Well, I guess it is time to declare a split on the Wilshire to get this thing moving. I have a retirement to fund, you know. Re: "And that includes the Nasdaq runup as those stocks are in the Wilshire 5000. It looks like the reversion to the mean has already happened despite all of the hoopla on the Nasdaq market." Good point. I am selling my total market fund and going with the NAZ. The world owes me a better return. Happy Holidays!
