Forced to Retire
Dryer sheet aficionado
The "EXPERTS" have been saying that the stock market is way over valued and to expect only a 2-3% real annual return in the next few decades. If this is true this will be tough for the retired people who depend on stock market returns to fund their lifestyle.
Though I was thinking about all these doom and gloom media stories about an overvalued stock market and depressed expected annual returns. I thought I had read this before, years ago. Upon investigation I found these doom and gloom stories about the stock market being overbought and we should expect low returns going forward were found in articles dating back to 2010.
So I googled stories from early 2012 about the subject and found that the EXPERTS back then were warning everyone that the stock market was way overbought and to expect only 2-3% real returns in the upcoming years. They also said get out of bonds in 2012 because the Fed was going to increase interest rates.
That was four years ago and since the overbought stock market has returned 69.91% according to this chart:
