Given the historical data, it's easy to see how people could loose money in certain decades.  It all depends on their entry point.     <a href="https://www.macrotrends.net/2324/sp-500-historical-chart-data" target="_blank">https://www.macrotrends.net/2324/sp-500-historical-chart-data</a></blockquote>
