Here's Why This Won't Be Another "Lost Decade" for Stocks
There have been only two decades since 1930 when the stock market produced negative returns: the 1930s itself, when the S&P 500 lost 0.2% because of the Great Depression, and the 2000s, when the dot-com bubble, terrorist attacks, and the collapse of the financial industry and housing market all conspired to drag down the index by 0.44%.
It shows not only that so-called "lost decades" are extremely rare events, but also the stock market is the place to be if you want to create generational wealth over the long term.
