US Stocks: A Historical Look at Market-Cap and Style, 1997-2007 [view article]
Thank you for this article Richard. Your data for the 10 year period is consistent with other articles I have read. The data can be interpreted in different ways. I would like to comment that for the 10 years, returns of less than eight percent are horrible for the risks that one must take. But seven percent is better than 4.89 percent.How does this data relate to future returns? Can we project, with any degree of certainty, that the S&P 400 MC G will have a annualized rate of return >10 percent over the next 10 years? Warren Buffet doesn't think so.
Now if I asked myself that last question I would have to say "I don't know".
My interest in reading your article and commenting on it is because I am retired and need current income from my investments with safety of principal. I would not be happy with a 10 year total return of 2.21 % or 3.89 %.
As I look at the universe of stocks, I see a paltry few that return more than 7 percent from dividends. I now have some stocks that are returning between 8 and 15% in dividends with, maybe, some capital appreciation in 3 to 5 years. If I am successful then I will have outperformed eight of the nine groups in your chart and I think I will have beat 50% of the mutual fund universe.
It is not easy to find good assets (companies) to invest in that are not subject to the whims of the market or run by incompetent people. Thanks, again, for the article.

Very interesting article. ReplyWhat Do Fed Rate Cuts Mean for Your Stock Portfolio? [view article]
Myron,Very good point. Kevin Walsh (Fed governor) said:" You've seen one financial crisis, you've seen one financial crisis." History may not repeat itself. One should read history with that caveat in mind.

One thing to keep in mind regarding the potentially low interest rates.It is only good for the economy if someone is willing to lend it out.
So far just about all the money coming from the Fed is staying in the Banks, only trickles are getting out to thier best clients. High risk will not see any cash for some time. Reply
