So I stop by to shoot the breeze with a co-worker and he tells me of this friend he had in college who is making a crazy amount in the stock market (25%)


25% is crazy? I made 25% the past year on my index funds. (although that is not typical, obviously, I don't consider it crazy - that's how 8, 10, 12 percent averages work - 3% 1 year, -1% the next, 16% the 13, etc.)

25% isn't unreasonable (or impressive) when you consider the Dow is up 24% from June of 2012 to today.

What should be scary is the "Guarunteed 25% return." In the stock market there is no such thing as a sure thing.
