The Most Important Investing Lesson of the Decade
It's only fitting that stocks are set to close near all-time highs as the decade comes to an end.
With two weeks left in the 2010s, the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) hit an intraday all-time high at 3182.68, up 185.4% from its closing price of 1115.10 on Dec. 31, 2009. With dividends reinvested, you would have seen returns of 246% over the decade simply by holding an index fund.
