What Returns Should I Expect From My Stock Investments?
One of the most common questions I get asked by friends and family is "How much should I expect my stocks to go up each year?"
Simply put, this is the wrong question to ask. A better question is "How much should I expect my stocks to return over the next few decades?" Here's why it's relatively easy to predict what the stock market will do over long periods of time, but next to impossible to anticipate what it will do in any given year.
