🎙 The S&P 500 average "10%" YEARLY return is FALSE. According to Howard Marks, the S&P 500 has returned 10% a year for 100 years... BUT the annual return was almost NEVER between 8% and 12%. His point is, the market’s long-term average is 10%. But in any single year, returns are usually much HIGHER or much LOWER than 10%. So instead of getting +8%, +9%, +10%, +11% a year, you often get +25%, -18%, +14%, -7%, +30%.
