If you bought stocks in 1950 (as far back as yahoo finance data goes) and simply held until today (presuming an index fund had existed then), you would have earned about 7%/year as the S&P rose from 17 to ~1100 (from jan 1950 until jan 2010). Adding in a 3%/year dividend that makes for a 10% return. If you bought stocks in jan 1960 and held until jan 2010 you would have made an average of 6%/year. Adding in a 3% dividend, thatgets us to 9%/year. From 1970 to 2010, 6.5% + 3% = 9.5%. From 1980 to 2010, 8% + 3% = 11%. From 1990, 6% + 3% = 9%. [more]
