What rate of return do you expect over the long haul?

Well I voted the 1% because I wanted to be different.

I'm cool with you being different. I just hope you're not right...

Ten years is not 20 to 40 years. I'm still holding out for the Saint's in the Superbowl - even though the Pat's have good football team.

heh heh heh - hope springs eternal. Lucky I was working and investing 1966 - 1982 when I didn't know any better. I had upper and lower 8% and 10% curves drawn with my no 2 pencil on K&E graph paper when I was planning to retire at 63 in 2006. .

I go along with John Bogle: 7% nominal for equities
Sadly I have been using 4% for inflation (could be too low).
