Darfot, as the boomers retire, we'll probably see China and India's middle class come online. Morgan Stanley is active in both countries, bringing new stockholders online. Obviously there's a risk associated with the market and a particular return is not guaranteed (and on the spreadsheet this is stated in bold). But I think you need to project out to include the overall world of stock buyers, not just the USA. We've gone global now. Also, there are some stock strategies a person can do to maximize their portfolio during a downturn. The normalized dividend yield isn't important, because corporations have decided to apply the money that would have gone into dividends, into RND instead in order to grow stock. Stock growth is more important than dividends. There's a long article on dividends somewhere that explains why the comparison to today and historical is different. Regards, Amy J
