Redditors think the S&P500 provides a Guaranteed 8% Return
Poast new message in this thread
Date: September 19th, 2024 10:31 PM Author: Karlstack (Retired) 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. |

Date: September 19th, 2024 11:58 PM Author: theranchman lol nice word salad disco.
"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" |

Date: September 20th, 2024 8:45 AM Author: zurich is stained do you have any evidence that administrative fees eat significantly into gains in 401k plans? i don't pay very close attention, but i think mine charges like $50 a quarter or some shit, same with my wife's.

And it’s not just Reddit. The financial planning and wealth management industries take this as an absolute and undeniable truth. Probably because most people realistically can’t retire unless it’s true. |

Date: September 20th, 2024 8:34 AM Author: ,..,,,,,,....,,,..., You’re right that redditors are dumb and have no understanding of volatility or the drivers of long-term stock returns. But even the markets you cite as flat are up over the last 5/10 years. Not up as much as the US but far better than negative real rate safe assets. Avoiding stocks in your long-term investments so you can feel superior to people who lost $$$ in various bubbles is even dumber than being a redditor and guarantees that you remain poor.
