<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 1288446, member: 3011&quot;]One thing to notice is that whenever someone here throws out an old date to &quot;prove&quot; that common stocks are a bad investment, if you go back and calculate the total return, it usually ends up being a positive number.&nbsp; So I would say that without picking any particular date range, the stock market is USUALLY a good place to put money, is rarely a terrible place to put money [except in the short run], and occasionally can be a great place to put money.&nbsp; This isn&#039;t to say that it is always the BEST place to invest, but no investment ever is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
