"Even picking 30 year periods that include the great depression I don't think there are any 30 year periods where the the DOW has dropped." Probably not. But I, nor JF, said that there was. Given the fact that there was at least a decade where there wasn't any growth at all, can you categorically state that it is impossible that there won't be a 30 year period in the future where it won't occur? Take your time on this... Oh, for clarification, a 10% or so growth over 30 years would probably count as "flat or down".
