I can tell you exactly what the share price of angl was 5 years ago and it was $28.91. Today it closed at $27.50, that’s not a 5% increase, it’s a $1.50 decrease, you can do the math for the %.
Even by using your stats which aren’t correct, a 6% gain over 10 years is worse than the average of 8% a year.
For comparison, 1 of my funds had a price of $200.89 5 years ago, and after the loses these past 2 weeks, the closing price today was $486.50, almost 130% gain over 5 years and this was not my best fund.
I don’t time the market, but if geopolitics or dumb things happen around us and I think we have a downturn coming, yes, I’ll go all money market until things get better. If I was still in the market these past 2 weeks, I would be down over $200k and we aren’t even close of the correction phase downturn that is occurring or the geopolitical problems being ironed out. If you think everything is going great, stay in.
