Mauldin is saying expect 4 to 5% annual returns over the next 15 years.
Well that is just a continuation of the last 16 years ! S&P 500 was 1550 in summer of 2000 and it is now around 2150. Counting a 2% annual dividend or yield, then the average annual return is around 4% from 2000 to present day. That barely keeps pace with average annual inflation of 2%.
