If I Could Tell All Long-Term Investors 1 Thing About the S&P 500 Right Now, It's This
The market is fundamentally different today than it has been in the past.
Overview
It's impossible to argue with the S&P 500's (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) performance. In the past decade, the benchmark index produced a total return of 316% (as of July 13). Had you invested $10,000 back then, you'd have $41,600 today. This is a historically strong showing, supporting what is undoubtedly a fantastic track record.
Those market participants who captured this gain have no complaints. But if I could tell all long-term investors one thing about the S&P 500 index right now, it would be this.
