Redditors think the S&P500 provides a Guaranteed 8% Return
Poast new message in this thread
Date: September 19th, 2024 10:31 PM Author: Narrow-minded exhilarant circlehead It’s unthinkable to them that it could just go flat like Japan, China, Europe, Middle East, South America stonks. It provides a guaranteed return except in the event of a collapse in which case, “you’ll have bigger problems than your stock portfolio.” They aren’t “pretty sure” or “mostly sure.” It’s a bona fide Certainty. |

I'm 35 and just hit $3M net worth on a relatively modest salary by trusting the S&P500. You? LJL
This was actually the single most valuable thing I learned from my financial economics class or any class in college outside the math and stats departments. |

"eat up that dividend return" - the word "that" in this sentence reference "tax advantages" in the prior. two wholly distinct concepts
and your threatening conclusion is that they do not perform as advertised. to whom is this the relevant question rather than "would that money, tax adjusted, outperform if put in the SPX or the plan" |

I don't see how price earning multiples can inflate beyond their current levels. Unless there is significant earnings growth, which is unlikely in an economic slowdown, stock prices ought to drop in the medium term.

Here is why I think our military that enforces petrodollars won’t just get all of its carriers sunk by coordinated drone attacks. Here is why I think SPY won’t crab for 23 years (inflation adjusted) like it did from 1969-1992….. champ.”

Date: September 20th, 2024 4:32 PM Author: Fragrant stage newt You wrote the OP with a "lol at these reddit 'tards" tone that caused the backlash. Why is the S&P 500 index a good investment over the long-haul? 1) US reserve currency status, 2) a small chunk of the S&P is too big to fail (major financial corp and tech companies that the US and world economy depends on), 3) unlike your other examples, the companies in the index are very well-diversified mega-MNC's with revenue streams all around the world, 4) the most powerful people in the world a major stakeholders.
Altogether, well diversified indexing is as good as it gets. I think the sentiment that "if this thing generates shit returns over my 30+ years of working, then everything is fucked" is a pretty sound one. |

Date: September 20th, 2024 7:19 PM Author: Vengeful School Community Account I'm of the opinion you should just index the whole planet. The US is about 60% of the global market cap, so 60%ish of your portfolio should be the US, which you can do with a domestic whole market fund. The rest of the world is about 40% which you can mirror pretty closely with VEU or similar. I have no idea if the US will continue to overperform global stocks, but that's why we're indexing it. Keep enough cash on hand to ride out crashes and you're fine. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5598286&forum_id=2...id#48114654) |

Date: September 20th, 2024 8:23 PM Author: turquoise nighttime ladyboy i disagree with this. if you do that, then for the time being 40% of your money is underperforming. and then if eventually foreign stocks start outperforming, from that point forward 60% of your money will be underperforming.
i have everything in US based equities.
it's risky, but i think a fairly safe bet that the US will continue to outperform. i guess if US stocks start shitting the bed for a few years, you take a hit and maybe reevaluate. |
|
Date: September 20th, 2024 8:24 PM Author: Vengeful School Community Account The whole point of indexing is that you know for sure you're doing something suboptimal because you don't know what the optimal thing is-- nobody does until after the fact. I'm okay with my the growth of my stock portfolio mirroring the growth of the whole planet, which is pretty close to what a global index does. US stocks might overperform, international stocks might overperform, either way I should be fine unless it's literal World War 3 in which case no investment will halp.

and with respect to the investment split i chose, it's stupid that i did that because you really cannot glean anything at all from the prior performance of an investment vehicle, so you should probably just invest in rocks or bonds. odd that you just shoot holes in other people's investments without offering any useful insight yourself. |

While the U.S. has never experienced a 20-year period of negative real returns, it has gotten close a few times. From February 1966 through December 1982, U.S. stocks lost 0.16% on an annualized basis, when including dividends and adjusting for inflation. That’s a 16-year period of negative real returns. Additionally, from September 1929 through December 1944, U.S. stocks experienced a 15-year period of negative real returns. This coincided with the beginning of the Great Depression through WWII. |

Date: September 21st, 2024 10:02 AM Author: garnet contagious home If you had bought the S&P at the end of 1968 it would have taken you nearly 15 years to break even. That's the environment I graduated college and LS into. The 70s were lost years for stocks. Inflation, high interest rates, high unemployment, stagflation, oil embargo, Vietnam war, etc. Bad government policy compounded everything. Wage and price controls started under Nixon then Carter kept it up. It's how Reagan got a landslide in 1980 and again in 84. The misery index (unemployment plus inflation) peaked in July 1980 at 22. FYI, son's grade school teacher in DC told the class in 1984 that if Reagan won it meant the "end of democracy in America." Sound familiar?
The economic improvement under Reagan was pronounced. The Fed enacted sharp rate increases which tamed inflation but produced a recession, then the Reagan tax cuts revitalized things at the cost of what now looks like a modest rise in deficit.
I have seen enough ups and downs that I keep 5-7 years' expenses in insured deposits or short term Fed securities. Probably unnecessarily conservative but it makes me feel better. |

Date: September 21st, 2024 12:58 PM Author: turquoise nighttime ladyboy op is cowgod btw. he's either extremely stupid/autistic or trolling. i think he may be trolling because his backstory used to be that he was a "former Curator of Film" or some shit who had zero money, now he's got millions in treasuries alone. apart from celebrities or trust funders, i can't conceive of someone who capitalizes random words having millions of dollars. (Trump excluded, although he was a trust funder.) he could be stupid and trolling
but what he's saying ITT is absolutely retarded as fuck. he's bashing redditors for their faith in the S&P while at the same time saying he thinks the "macros" "look like 1970" and i presume he's suggesting that we are in for a 10+ year bear market. in other words, he can accurately predict the stock market....but redditors are stupid! |
