Again I did not work in 1988 I was in college. From 1998 to 2008 (10 year period) the S&P500 net return, gain, appreciation is ZERO!!!!!!! 10 years and you not only gained nothing you lost an average of 3% per year for inflation.

The last 10 yrs the S&P 500 had an avg. annual return of about 4% yes, there are better investments.
