Given crazy market returns recently, do you still expect the market to rise at 10% over the next 30 years?

No. I think 5% to 7% is more indicative of “normal” market activity.

Yes I do. Tech is fueling so much growth in America and we’ve only just begun. The companies that are in the top 20 of market cap today won’t be in 30 years. There will be new companies pushing the envelope even further in areas such as automation, green energy, genomics, and other industries we haven’t even considered today.

Growth is inevitable. As long as America remains a capitalistic society with a legal framework that favors big business, the market will continue to tear it up.

We’ve only just begun on what we will look back at as a historic growth cycle.

No. But more because 10% is high historically because we haven’t had a long market downturn in a decade.

Agreed, that’s a big eye-opener especially over longer terms. There can be a huge difference between a steady 8% every year and big swings between -20% and +20%.

If I am doing a simple model where I have one growth factor for the whole time series, I will haircut it to 4 or 5% to account for that. More accurate would be to have a separate growth factor for each year.

10% every year? No. Average 7% every year over 30 years? Yes.

7% nominal has been the historical return and, if inflation continues, we will likely have lower real returns until this administration leaves.

SA1, that’s an extremely simplistic take that completely ignores long term impacts of a global pandemic and serious contraints on global supply chain. And economic and monetary policy take time to filter through the economy. People have been saying loose monetary policy would lead to rampant inflation for over a decade.

Which policy or policies do you believe contributed to inflation so quickly and so directly in January 2021? Particularly ones that were not already implemented by prior administrations and simply extended by the current one?

like

Annually every year? No. On average, at least for the next 10.

Over 30, I’m not convinced that one market participation, education, and skill conversion will be strong enough to compete like we have on the world stage. There’ll be a comeuppance for our success by not enabling other countries. We could end up being trounced.

Market 7-8% very conservatively. Individual investments in individual sectors and different asset classes should yield you upwards of 18% yoy if you risk adjust over the years so that the initial years are more aggressive than the later years.

Don’t really trust them, not having kids, etc. 18% seems like a crazy number when you regularly hear that even most professionals don’t beat the market.

I thought it's 10 but say 7% because they are adjusting for inflation

I’m a SPED teacher, & my principals ALWAYS seem to visit my room as soon as I give my student(s) a break from their work or when they’ve finished early everything I had planned. They RARELY come in when I’m actually in the middle of making progress on a lesson. It makes me feel like I have to be defensive & justify why the students aren’t working. Does this happen to anyone else?

Unpopular opinion: the FIRE community is contributing to an unhealthy workaholic culture as we forestall healthy work-life balance in favor of reaching our “FIRE” numbers a few years earlier. As a result, work culture is becoming all the more intolerable as the bold few would-be advocates for work-life balance are sucked headfirst into the rat race, and no one is left to fix things from the inside.

Society overall would be better served by a more community-minded approach to work-life balance.
