Read an article which said the S&P 500 has never had a negative return in a 5 year period. Another said a 10 year period.
A quick look at a Google chart however shows a 50% dip from March 2000 to March 2009.
Or if you bought in June 2000, you'd have to wait until January 2013 before your money got “stable” and in the green.
I'm probably missing something obvious.
What's the truth, ma?
