Reply #32: Wouldn't "a 50% gain in three years"

[SOS]

also be an example of cherry picking?

The last time the Dow was 3300 was back in 1993.
In 20 years it has gone up 250%.

You are fortunate.

Would you advise a young person getting in today that the Dow will be 40,000 in 18 years?

Or are the days of long term gains over?

Over the past 10 years, all three major indexes seem sorta maxed out.
