From January 2009 to January 2017, the S&P 500 generated a nominal price return of approximately 152.4% (rising from roughly 825 to 2,278). When including reinvested dividends, the total return over this eight-year span increased significantly higher, roughly doubling the price-only performance.
You are a pinhead BV!Now tell everyone what percentage of investors were participating in a S&P index fund during that time frame. The numbers don't mean everyone was getting those returns.
It currently has just exceeded 50%, 9 years later.
You know as well as I do that professional money managers suck at beating the indices, like 90% failure rate.
I will agree the rich got richer under Obama, but everyone knows taking over in a recession is going to produce better numbers.
Golf clap for Obama!
