Buy and Hold is dead- 2 years of nothing- soon to be negative

I never assumed 10 percent returns.

I assume 2 percent real, in line with US GDP potential growth.

I am confident that over a decade or more my assumption will be reasonable for a mix of stocks and bonds.

You’re a future roadkill daytrader, not an investor.

Not PP you responded, but he or she is correct. You need to do your homework and invest wisely, or not invest at all. My hand-picked stocks have done significantly better than 10% a year over the course of the two decades I've had them.

You got lucky. Sell stocks and invest the proceeds in a diversified index fund or lose your ass.

Two percent real corresponds to 5-10% APR given historic inflation rates. Not going to find a CD giving you that.

Absolute nonsense. What do you know that the market doesn't? You either got lucky or are not telling the truth.
