Sure, we have historical returns and averages, but the way money is invested today...well it's much, MUCH different than it was even as recent as 5 years ago. Companies are worth far more on paper than they are in tangible goods, yet the price keeps going up. There are far more investors, far more ways to be an investor, and hell...now you can trade stocks willy nilly all day long with no commission trading from almost all the large brokerage houses.My point is that although there are lots of "pros" out there telling us what the market(s) are going to do, the real truth is no one knows what will happen. There are simply way too many variables and players to really tell us what the future holds.</blockquote>
