The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Average broad market forward returns are pretty low starting from unusually high market valuation levels. That's the gist of it: not wrong, but not surprising.

Yes, maybe not surprising to most on this board. But everywhere (else) I look, I see passive investors convincing other passive investors to stay fully invested and not worry about drops, as long as they have a 5 to 10 year timeframe or some such. As if there's some magic magnet pulling total returns back to 10% annualized over 10 years regardless of starting point. I'm sure you're right, that this is not the best article on the topic. But I know a lot of retirees who seem likely to be very disappointed in future returns, so if anyone knows a really great article to show them, please post it.
