There are many index funds which parallel the major indices (stocks, bonds. real estate, commodities etc.) | |

It was my guess that he wasn't simply discussing stocks, but all forms of investment. That is why this is a question without an answer, as no one knows. We can "guess" that stocks have continued to perform, but we could also enter a 30 year period where US stocks fall / are stagnant. | |
