Long-term investing in the stock market pays off!

[medelste]

Hi everyone, I'm helping a couple friends get started with investing and I'm looking for evidence that the broad stock market has historically produced higher returns than other investments over long time periods (15+ years). But I can't find any recent (past couple of years) articles or charts on the internet demonstrating that. Do you have any go-to articles that I can share with them that shows the power of the stock market over long terms?

Go to Google images and search on Andex chart.

Since their success will depend entirely on as yet unknown events, why not content yourself with seeking your own success, and let them seek theirs? It is easy enough to make enemies without sticking your neck out on some one else's future investment results.

Looks like they're now produced by Morningstar in the US... for a fee.....

I suggest you wait on this.

Wait until a deep bear market and then see how you feel about advising your friends.

Quite a few results for Ibbotson chart. It is a simple view, so probably more useful with a novice.

Andex chart is a a bit more complicated. But you can find it in a similar search. Look for advisory firms who've purchased a chart for use, and then include it in their own packaging. Very easy to find.
