The stock market always goes up in the long term.
If you invested your money in stock markets a century ago, it would have been a relatively poor investment. The United States of America was the "winner" of the 20th century, both militarily and economically, so of course the American stock market was a very good investment. But without the benefit of hindsight, you would have had no reason to know that. A century ago the "hot" stock markets were Argentina and Russia, while the "safe" market was Germany. Well, $100 invested in 1913 Russia or Germany would be worth $0 today, and Argentina would not be much better. So which stock market is going to be the "winner" of the 21st century?
