S&P 500 is the single greatest gift for investors no matter how much you put in provided you stay the course. It’s basically idiot proof.

The NASDAQ has an average of 14.95% annual return with 12 down years over the same timespan. The S&P 500 is really fricking solid and I’m a big fan, but I’m equally in love with the NASDAQ because it rewards risk with higher returns.

I saved this yesterday. I am trying to teach my kids and grandkids about investing, and think this is a helpful view. It is a nice alternative to a graph.

The runup from 1995-99 was more than what was justified. Had to come back to normal.
