Lesson of the Week
There is a persistent myth in investing that you never lose when you buy stocks regardless of the price because time heals all wounds. This chart below shows that that is simply not the case. Stocks can spend a long time in the wilderness delivering sub-par returns and underperforming other asset classes. Don't be lured into the idea that you are "missing out" simply because making money in the short term looks easy. Valuation matters.
