[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 827147, member: 60724"] Caymen, I can't argue with your simple, hypothetical of a 1% gain. Interestingly enough pundits have said that if you calculate the actual rate of return for the current SSI it almost always comes out less than 3%. (see link below) So, yeah, when things are crappy in the market, like they have been this past few months, heck and even years, then it might be hard to beat 3%. But over a workers lifetime, ever since the stock market has been in existence one has been able to easily beat 3% return. The key in the market is to start young, invest gradually and for the long haul, and then transition most of your portfolio to safe funds (like cash funds) as you near retirement age. Anyone that has done that the past 10+ years and has retired in the last year or so will have done very well. TJR [/QUOTE]
