When will you guys wake up, learn you aren't smarter than Wall Street hedge fund managers, and begin investing 100% in low-fee index funds?

>> No.1708216

I do invest in those. Not 100% because I'm not 65. Only 10% of my portfolio goes to what you mentioned (minus the "get rich quick" schemes)

If you were 65 you'd have most of your money in bonds. If an 08 happened poof there goes your retirement. But now your old and there isn't time to recover.

At retirement, you want 50-100% stocks because long-term growth is still very important. Stocks accomplish this best.

>If an 08 happened poof there goes your retirement

It is true that sequence of return risk is very important over the first few years of retirement. In 2008, the S&P500 fell 37%. But let's look at the years following:

2009: +26.46%
2010: +15.06%
2011: +2.11%
2012: +16.00%
2013: +32.39%
2014: +13.69%
2015: +1.40%
2016: +11.24%

That said we are due for a recession in a year or two...
