Never be a S and P 500 index person…….. It’s about a 600% return an actual price appreciation since 1967 to October 2024. It’s only if you add dividends that returns are significantly higher. Modern day, investors that buy index funds in price agnostic way do not understand that the S&P dividend yield has gone from over 4% in the 1960s to the current 1.18%. You’re essentially saving your own money!
