that he might make a table with
an interval of one year, but for us also,
readers prefer more informative.
One of the reasons why he chose the period

Here are eight things that
It can be understood from this table:
1. It is obvious that, when
compare indicators in increments of 10 years,
the market has grown most of the time. Of
The table shows that 28 of the 32 indicators
positive, and only four -
negative. By the way, three of them
occurred back in the 1930s.
2. The market can be very
successful consecutive decades. Most
investors recall that in the 1990s were
very high returns for stocks, but this
table shows an even higher
profit in 1980.
3. Leading and lagging
asset class is sometimes reversed.
This makes it difficult to select just one,
with whom you can be sure that he
It will always be on top. In the 1960s,
companies with small capitalization and
cheap stocks behave better. They
We did the same from 2000 to 2009. But,
in 1970 were ahead of all assets
large-cap and penny stocks.
In the 1950s, 1980s and 1990s, each class
assets in this table received double-digit
revenues, and 1940 have been extremely close.
4. The most consistent
The winners were stocks with low
capitalization and value. For 1930

Ten years ago the profit, which is always
It was more than 12.5%.
5. Only one
decade - 30 years - almost all
Group received profit. And if you
the math indicator for inflation,
it turns out that the return of this group
I was actually positive: up
1.4%.
6. The first 10 years of this
century was viewed as "lost"
decade for stock investors,
mainly due to the growth of expensive stocks and
pair serious bear markets. In that
decade of the portfolio, which was

asset classes, earned a profit
about 6.7%.

"market beating" It was very easy,
if you think S P 500 index.
8. Saying that investors
get paid to take risks seems to be working
very good. Stocks of expensive assets
They are riskier than S P
500, and they are paid more. Growth shares
small caps are more
risky than stocks with high
capitalization, and they will also receive
more. Shares of small-cap -
the riskiest among these classes
assets, and investors have received the most
higher yield.
thanks to the third
lesson, it is impossible to understand what classes
assets will work best for
next week, next month,
in the next year or even next
decade. But there is a magic that
You can combine all four of them

If you think
it's a bit, here's a math: $ 1,000
Investments in 1930 (equivalent to
$ 14,084 in today's dollars) would have increased
to $ 2.4 million (unless assume 9.7%) or $ 13.6 million
(At 12%).
