Concise overviews on a variety of economic and market events that affect all investors
As a novice investor, it’s hard not to worry about sudden swings in the market tied to a roller coaster of current events. But in reality, there will always be major events, and when we look at their impact on returns we see that historically most events don’t have a long-term impact on market performance. The worst returns in the stock market happen during recessions and the worst returns in the bond market happen during unexpected higher inflation. Our Market History Report shows you a year-by-year view of the investment performance of stocks, bonds, and cash and corresponding major events since 1928.
