US Stock Market 50-Year Average Return
Annualized Return (including dividends) | 10.757% |
Annualized Return (including dividends) Inflation Adjusted | 6.59% |
Annualized Return (no dividends) | 7.749% |
Annualized Return (no dividends) Inflation Adjusted | 3.696% |
Issue is income tax. Unless you don't trade, the annual stock % is only reference. Don't assume the bull market will last forever.
