Hi Brad. I'm not sure I followed what you said. If you see a slow leak but steady inflows then I can surmise that financial equities will tread water on a relative basis. Real estate, for example has not done much on a relative basis the past ten years; however a $100,000.00 house bought in 1988 is worth $175,000.00 now. If the same happens to financial assets for the next ten years would you be happy to see an IRA or 401 K with 1/4 mil double to 1/2 mil and with new contributions be worth 3/4 mil. Assuming the advantages of dollar cost averaging and volatile markets you could probably go to an even mil. I think that is a worst case ,,pretty good !!
