My NASDAQ prediction is out there a bit. Another 18 years to double is a long time. One would think it could. Based on its growth pattern (stat/prob), I am likely wrong.

I am a little more confident in the S&P 500 prediction (fewer years). But who knows.

I hope I am wrong on both counts. I would rather be better off financially than right on the statement!

By the way. I intend to stay invested in equities and bonds... Sticking with the plan.

One thing. I do not need to rebalance this year and buy additional bonds. I increased my bond holding (% of portfolio) without doing anything. But I am still below my goal at ER. Most of our new money is going to fixed...
