                                         Figure 2-5
                                        Rolling 10-Year Data
                                             1930-2010 (%)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                        Ten-Year                    Return Range
                                    Median Return              2/3 of the Time
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
         Bonds                                  5.5                           +2 to +9
 
         Stocks                       10.6                                   +5 to +16

 

Once again, these data have not changed significantly. Figure 2-5 suggests that the returns from both bonds and stocks have been higher than inflation, stocks have had a higher return than bonds, and the normal range of returns for both is positive or very positive.

These data support the argument that these two asset classes must play key roles in achieving investment results which, in combination with aggressive asset accumulation, will provide the level of retirement security you desire.
