    The nice thing is over time historically the stock market or at least index funds always have gain.

    The analysis that was based on excluded the effect of markets going out of existence. If those events are taken into account, there’s little to no long-term gain at all.

      Hence the we have bigger problems. At least for the next ten years the stock markets won’t say, hey its time to try helping out the poor. If the stockmarkets completely implodes, yeah we got some other problems goingonn.
