some folks still want to believe that stocks are savings others hope they had been paid 4-5% dividends over the past so many years, and many even dream that they had captured the capital gains ostensibly advertised by the indices most are not able to engage with the truth that stocks in aggregate have gone nowhere, paid nothing, and will trend down in real hard gold terms, what dividends there were, paid out by the reits and utilities and cigarette companies, were heavily taxed, the rest was neither worth taxing nor worth the paper work, and what capital gains there may have been in the non-dividend paying shares, most were giveth back 1990 - 1999, the most who had believed they can play stocks got dusted 2000 - 2009, the most who had believed they can play macro got pulverized 2010 - 2019, imo, what wasn't completely done to most of the survivors of 1990 - 2009 will be, and so, in some sense, << it's different this time>> for this decade may well be so :0) let us watch, brief, and play. cheers, tj
