Sigh ... Sorry, refuse to have a discussion if this simplistic nonsense is your idea of debate.

8% a year? That is your standard? Why pick 1996? Why not 1986 or 1976?

Yes, 8% a year has been the historical 20th century stock market return if you invested and let it be without trying to time any markets. That's long gone. Of course, when I was young, savings accounts payed 5 1/4%.

That regular rate of return ended when Wall Street stopped being people investing capitalization in corporate American company growth and longevity, and became a gambling casino.
