Of course, that was just before the 35% rout in March 2020. However, as noted in the article:</p><p><blockquote>2019年,CNBC发表了一篇文章,宣扬看涨期权<i>“亿万富翁投资者罗恩·巴伦”</i>道琼斯指数将在短短50年内达到65万点。当然,那是在2020年3月35%的溃败之前。然而,正如文章中所指出的:</blockquote></p><p> <i>“Speaking from his annual investment conference in New York, Baron predicted the Dow Jones Industrial Average, </i> <i><b>based on historical moves over decades, will reach 650,000 in 50 years, with an over $500 trillion U.S. economy.”</b></i> If we do some quick math, that assumption requires a 6.6% annualized return on both the Dow and the U.S. economy. Such is undoubtedly in line with the economy’s long-term growth trends, and the charts below prove the point.</p><p><blockquote><i>巴伦在纽约举行的年度投资会议上发表讲话时预测,</i><i><b>根据几十年来的历史走势,50年内将达到65万,美国经济规模将超过500万亿美元。”</b></i>如果我们快速计算一下,这一假设要求道琼斯指数和美国经济的年化回报率均为6.6%。这无疑符合经济的长期增长趋势,下面的图表证明了这一点。</blockquote></p><p> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7911be7435ab6393a30ce06a2dede059\" tg-width=\"900\" tg-height=\"280\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Of course, those returns are also what financial advisors promise clients who <i>“buy and hold”</i> an index-based portfolio.</p><p><blockquote>当然,这些回报也是财务顾问向客户承诺的<i>“买入并持有”</i>基于指数的投资组合。</blockquote></p><p> Here is the problem.</p><p><blockquote>问题来了。</blockquote></p><p> <b>It’s complete bulls*** on both counts.</b></p><p><blockquote><b>在这两个方面都完全是公牛***。</b></blockquote></p><p> Mr. Baron, as noted, was speaking at his <i>“buy and hold”</i> conference, and the tweet grabbed both attention and headlines.</p><p><blockquote>如前所述,巴伦先生是在他的<i>“买入并持有”</i>会议,这条推文吸引了关注和头条新闻。</blockquote></p><p> <b>The problem with being </b><b><i>“bullish all the time”</i></b><b> is that it is also perilous.</b></p><p><blockquote><b>存在的问题</b><b><i>“一直看涨”</i></b><b>这也是危险的。</b></blockquote></p><p> <b>Such is particularly the case in late-stage </b><b><i>“bull markets,”</i></b><b> where seemingly ever-rising prices mask poor investment decisions and excessive portfolio “risk.”</b> As a result, previously lousy investment ideas, products, and strategies tend to resurface in a different form or package. <b>Investment strategies like </b><b><i>“buy and hold”</i></b><b> and </b><b><i>“dollar cost averaging”</i></b><b> become popular even though they are guaranteed to leave you well short of your financial objectives in the future.</b></p><p><blockquote><b>在后期尤其如此</b><b><i>“牛市,”</i></b><b>看似不断上涨的价格掩盖了糟糕的投资决策和过度的投资组合“风险”。</b>因此,以前糟糕的投资理念、产品和策略往往会以不同的形式或包装重新出现。<b>投资策略如</b><b><i>“买入并持有”</i></b><b>和</b><b><i>“美元成本平均法”</i></b><b>变得受欢迎,即使它们肯定会让你在未来远远达不到你的财务目标。</b></blockquote></p><p> <b>The Economy No Longer Grows At 6%</b></p><p><blockquote><b>经济不再以6%增长</b></blockquote></p><p> Let’s start with the economy.</p><p><blockquote>让我们从经济开始。</blockquote></p><p> The economy has not attained an annualized growth rate of 6% since the 1950’s when the U.S. was the manufacturing hub of the entire world. Following WWII, the majority of Europe, and Japan following two nuclear bombs, got devastated. Today, the U.S. is no longer a manufacturing hub but a services provider for ever-lower costs. Services, as compared to manufacturing, have a very low economic multiplier effect. Given $28 Trillion in debt and climbing, attaining<b> a sustainable 6% growth rate is not possible.</b></p><p><blockquote>自20世纪50年代美国是全世界的制造业中心以来,美国经济还没有达到6%的年化增长率。第二次世界大战后,欧洲大部分地区,以及遭受两次核弹袭击的日本,遭到了毁灭性的打击。如今,美国不再是制造中心,而是成本不断降低的服务提供商。与制造业相比,服务业的经济乘数效应非常低。鉴于28万亿美元的债务并不断攀升,达到<b>6%的可持续增长率是不可能的。</b></blockquote></p><p> The chart below pretty much details the problem.</p><p><blockquote>下图非常详细地描述了这个问题。</blockquote></p><p> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a93f467b23ee24c7ea42124af9211ab1\" tg-width=\"985\" tg-height=\"543\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Many argue the U.S. economy has grown by more than 6% on average over the long term. <i>(This is a true statement)</i>However, it is also a very misleading statement. <b>Average and actual growth are two very different things.</b></p><p><blockquote>许多人认为,美国经济长期平均增长率超过6%。<i>(这是一个真实的说法)</i>然而,这也是一种非常具有误导性的说法。<b>平均增长和实际增长是两回事。</b></blockquote></p><p> If we go back to 1901 and assume the economy grew at just 6% annualized, lower than Mr. Baron’s 6.6% suggestion, the size of the economy should be approaching $500 Trillion. Not the paltry $19 trillion at the end of 2020.</p><p><blockquote>如果我们回到1901年,假设经济年化增长率仅为6%,低于巴伦先生6.6%的建议,那么经济规模应该接近500万亿美元。而不是2020年底微不足道的19万亿美元。</blockquote></p><p> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bb039a951d498f696b6e37aae80d17b8\" tg-width=\"894\" tg-height=\"535\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">What happened?</p><p><blockquote>怎么回事?</blockquote></p><p></p><p> <b>There were many years of low or negative economic growth.</b></p><p><blockquote><b>有许多年的经济低增长或负增长。</b></blockquote></p><p> The same factors hold with the Dow.</p><p><blockquote>同样的因素也适用于道琼斯指数。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Dow 650,000</b></p><p><blockquote><b>道指65万</b></blockquote></p><p> As noted, Mr. Baron suggests the Dow will rise to 650,000 in the next 50-years. So clearly, as a young investor, you should sock all your hard-earned savings into an <i>“index fund”</i> and hang on.</p><p><blockquote>如上所述,巴伦先生表示道琼斯指数将在未来50年内升至65万点。因此,很明显,作为一名年轻的投资者,您应该将所有辛苦赚来的积蓄存入<i>“指数基金”</i>坚持住。</blockquote></p><p> <b><i>“The stock market is literally the same thing as a high-yield savings account.”</i></b> – <b>Jim J.</b> ( <i>names have been changed to protect the stupid.)</i> <b>Here’s the thing.</b></p><p><blockquote><b><i>“股票市场实际上与高收益储蓄账户是一回事。”</i></b> – <b>吉姆·J。</b> (<i>名字已被更改以保护愚蠢的人。)</i><b>是这样的。</b></blockquote></p><p> The financial media states that markets have an average annual return of 8-10%. <b>So, assuming the Dow had compounded at just 5% since 1901, we would already be past 650,000.</b></p><p><blockquote>财经媒体称,市场的平均年回报率为8-10%。<b>因此,假设道琼斯指数自1901年以来的复合增长率仅为5%,我们已经超过了65万点。</b></blockquote></p><p> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e1f5d0faf546143e5a7a2ce2b7f87360\" tg-width=\"872\" tg-height=\"553\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">But it’s not.</p><p><blockquote>但事实并非如此。</blockquote></p><p> We are just stuck here at a <i>“crappy ole’ 35,000.”</i></p><p><blockquote>我们只是被困在这里<i>“破三万五千。”</i></blockquote></p><p> As with economic growth, <b>there is a massive difference between compound returns and average returns. The historical performance of the markets since 1900, including dividends, has averaged a higher rate of return than just 5% annually. Therefore, the Dow should</b>be much closer to 700,000 today than 650,000 in the next 50-years.</p><p><blockquote>与经济增长一样,<b>复合回报和平均回报之间存在巨大差异。自1900年以来,市场的历史表现,包括股息,平均回报率高于每年5%。因此,道指应</b>今天接近70万,而不是未来50年的65万。</blockquote></p><p> Again, it’s not.</p><p><blockquote>还是那句话,不是。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Nope…we are just hanging out way down here at 35,000.</b></p><p><blockquote><b>不…我们只是在35,000英镑的地方闲逛。</b></blockquote></p><p> Why? Because crashes matter. Such is particularly the case when it comes to your financial goals and investment time horizons.</p><p><blockquote>为什么?因为崩溃很重要。尤其是当涉及到你的财务目标和投资时间范围时。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Why Crashes Matter</b></p><p><blockquote><b>为什么崩溃很重要</b></blockquote></p><p> Think about it this way.</p><p><blockquote>这样想吧。</blockquote></p><p> If <i>“buy and hold”</i> investing worked the way the media suggests, then why are the financial statistics of 80% of Americans so poor?</p><p><blockquote>如果<i>“买入并持有”</i>投资按照媒体暗示的方式运作,那么为什么80%的美国人的财务统计数据如此糟糕呢?</blockquote></p><p> <b>The three most significant factors are:</b></p><p><blockquote><b>三个最重要的因素是:</b></blockquote></p><p> <ol> <li><i><b>Destruction of capital;</b></i></p><p><blockquote><ol><li><i><b>资本的破坏;</b></i></li></ol></blockquote></p><p></li> <li><i><b>Lack of savings, and;</b></i></p><p><blockquote><li><i><b>缺乏储蓄;</b></i></li></blockquote></p><p></li> <li><i><b>Time.</b></i></p><p><blockquote><li><i><b>时间。</b></i></li></blockquote></p><p></li> </ol> While lost capital gain eventually recover, the time lost <i>“getting back to even”</i> cannot be.

Yes, it will eventually happen. Such should not be surprising given the massive amounts of global liquidity chasing fewer assets.

Of course, that was just before the 35% rout in March 2020. However, as noted in the article:\n\n“Speaking from his annual investment conference in New York, Baron predicted the Dow Jones Industrial Average, \nbased on historical moves over decades, will reach 650,000 in 50 years, with an over $500 trillion U.S. economy.”\n\nIf we do some quick math, that assumption requires a 6.6% annualized return on both the Dow and the U.S. economy. Such is undoubtedly in line with the economy’s long-term growth trends, and the charts below prove the point.\nOf course, those returns are also what financial advisors promise clients who “buy and hold” an index-based portfolio.\nHere is the problem.\nIt’s complete bulls*** on both counts.\nMr. Baron, as noted, was speaking at his “buy and hold” conference, and the tweet grabbed both attention and headlines.\nThe problem with being “bullish all the time” is that it is also perilous.\nSuch is particularly the case in late-stage “bull markets,” where seemingly ever-rising prices mask poor investment decisions and excessive portfolio “risk.” As a result, previously lousy investment ideas, products, and strategies tend to resurface in a different form or package. Investment strategies like “buy and hold” and “dollar cost averaging” become popular even though they are guaranteed to leave you well short of your financial objectives in the future.\nThe Economy No Longer Grows At 6%\nLet’s start with the economy.\nThe economy has not attained an annualized growth rate of 6% since the 1950’s when the U.S. was the manufacturing hub of the entire world. Following WWII, the majority of Europe, and Japan following two nuclear bombs, got devastated. Today, the U.S. is no longer a manufacturing hub but a services provider for ever-lower costs. Services, as compared to manufacturing, have a very low economic multiplier effect. Given $28 Trillion in debt and climbing, attaining a sustainable 6% growth rate is not possible.\nThe chart below pretty much details the problem.\nMany argue the U.S. economy has grown by more than 6% on average over the long term. (This is a true statement)However, it is also a very misleading statement. Average and actual growth are two very different things.\nIf we go back to 1901 and assume the economy grew at just 6% annualized, lower than Mr. Baron’s 6.6% suggestion, the size of the economy should be approaching $500 Trillion. Not the paltry $19 trillion at the end of 2020.\nWhat happened?\nThere were many years of low or negative economic growth.\nThe same factors hold with the Dow.\nDow 650,000\nAs noted, Mr. Baron suggests the Dow will rise to 650,000 in the next 50-years. So clearly, as a young investor, you should sock all your hard-earned savings into an “index fund” and hang on.\n\n“The stock market is literally the same thing as a high-yield savings account.” – \n Jim J. (\n names have been changed to protect the stupid.)\n\nHere’s the thing.\nThe financial media states that markets have an average annual return of 8-10%. So, assuming the Dow had compounded at just 5% since 1901, we would already be past 650,000.\nBut it’s not.\nWe are just stuck here at a “crappy ole’ 35,000.”\nAs with economic growth, there is a massive difference between compound returns and average returns. The historical performance of the markets since 1900, including dividends, has averaged a higher rate of return than just 5% annually. Therefore, the Dow shouldbe much closer to 700,000 today than 650,000 in the next 50-years.\nAgain, it’s not.\nNope…we are just hanging out way down here at 35,000.\nWhy? Because crashes matter. Such is particularly the case when it comes to your financial goals and investment time horizons.\nWhy Crashes Matter\nThink about it this way.\nIf “buy and hold” investing worked the way the media suggests, then why are the financial statistics of 80% of Americans so poor?\nThe three most significant factors are:\n\nDestruction of capital;\nLack of savings, and;\nTime.\n\nWhile lost capital gain eventually recover, the time lost “getting back to even” cannot be. Unfortunately, we don’t live forever, and time is our ultimate enemy. Such is also why, after two major bear markets, most “boomers” are simply unprepared financially for retirement.\nWho wouldn’t love a world where everyone invests some money, the markets rise 6% annually, and everyone one’s a winner?\n\nMarkets Don’t Really Compound\nUnfortunately, markets don’t work that way. A vast difference exists between an “index” that benefits from share buybacks, substitutions and market capitalization weighting versus a portfolio invested in actual dollars. Yes, a “buy and hold” portfolio will grow in the financial markets over time, but it DOES NOT compound.\nRead this carefully: “Compound returns assume no principal loss, ever.”\nTo visualize the importance of this statement, the chart below shows $100,000, adjusted for inflation, invested in 2000 versus a 6% annual compound rate of return. The shaded area shows the difference between the portfolio value and the 6% rate of return.\nAs noted, due to the impact of two bear markets, the investor that started in 2000 is still well short of the rate of return promised. The investor that began in 2007 only just recently achieved their goal. However, a bear market in the future will set them back markedly.\nSee the problem? If you were 45 in 2000, you didn’t make your retirement goal.\nWith markets now back to some of the highest valuations on record, forward returns over the next 10-years will be substantially lower than they have been over the past 10-years.\nThat isn’t being bearish. That is just math.\nThroughout history, bull market cycles are only one-half of the “full market” cycle. Such is because during every “bull market” cycle the markets, and economy, build up excesses that are “reverted” during the following “bear market.”\nReversion To The Mean\nAs Sir Issac Newton once stated:\n\n“What goes up, must come down.”\n\nLooking beyond the very short-term overly optimistic view of “this time is different,”the coming unwinding of current speculative extremes will occur after completing the current market cycle.\nWhen we look at 10-year trailing returns, there is sufficient historical evidence to suggest total returns will decline towards zero over the next 5-years from 12% annualized currently.(These are trailing 10-year total real returns, not forward)\nA decline in the next 3-years of only 30%, the average drawdown during a recession, will likely achieve that goal.\nWhy will a bear market eventually happen? It is a function of time (length of market cycles), math (valuations,) and physics (price deviations for long-term means.)\nWhen will it happen, and what will cause it? No one knows.\nThere is one big secret in achieving long-term investment success.\n\n “\n Being \n“right”\n in the first half of the market cycle is not as important \n as \n being \n“wrong”\nduring the second half.”\n\nYou really should be disappointed in Dow 40,000.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{".DJI":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":476,"commentLimit":10,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"symbols":[],"verified":2,"subType":0,"readableState":1,"langContent":"CN","currentLanguage":"CN","warmUpFlag":false,"orderFlag":false,"shareable":true,"causeOfNotShareable":"","featuresForAnalytics":[],"commentAndTweetFlag":false,"andRepostAutoSelectedFlag":false,"upFlag":false,"length":7,"xxTargetLangEnum":"ZH_CN"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"isTiger":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"url":"/m/post/866516008"}
