Vanguard 500 Index Fund (VFINX)

One year return = 24.38%

If you invested $1 million in the average S&P 500 stock index fund, you'd be smoking fat cigars and doing $243,800 worth of hookers and coke.

My humble 'do not touch or turnover' pile (with some Vanguard indexes) has achieved it's highest nominal point ever. Being closer to the Emperor Node is nice, but I still don't think with the previous 'losses' it makes up for inflation.

You should have told us last June 2023 dummy.

The 5 year return of the S&P500 index is 86%.
Apple shares are up 343% in 5 years.
It's sometimes exciting; my friend said "stocks up, cocks up."
I told him he should sell t-shirts with the phrase.

Well, I just sold a position from two years ago for 1000 percent profit.

Not really, I just wanted to make you all feel really bad.

I never sell things but eventually I will have to sell something.

What "position" did you assume that gave such a payday?

Apple shares have a 923% return over 10 years.

The Micron (MU) shares I bought for $10 in 2016 are now over $130. That is over 1300% return in 8 years plus dividends. Makes up for my losses in SunEdison and JCPenney.

There was a long term or secular bear market from January 2000 to July 2014. The real (or inflation adjusted) gain was 0% during that period.

I wonder if October 2021 is the start of another secular bear market.

I remember listening to Bob Brinker's radio show on Saturday afternoons and learning about secular bear and bull markets, as well as the concept of reaching critical mass for investing.

Look at Spdr S&P 500 Value (Walmart, Chevron, Johnson and Johnson, etc.) versus Spdr S&P 500 Growth (Amazon, Microsoft, Netflix, etc)

The chart starts in October 2000. Around April 2020 is when the total return from October 2020 for both funds is equal.

Look at how the Growth fund has taken off since April 2020.
