Of course, with the Federal Reserve intent on pumping virtually unlimited quantities of interest rate-suppressing QE into the economy, the equity markets could continue climbing what we sometimes refer to as a "wall of worry" for an extended time.
But when people who have stayed on the sidelines arrive late to the party, they often panic and sell at the wrong time after the next big downturn. That happened in the 1999-2002 period, and then again between 2006 and 2009.
Sadly, many people get separated from large portions of their hard-earned savings after failing to learn much of anything about the history of markets.
(For the record, the market closed at about 1,560 on the date this story appeared, and as of this moment is off just slightly at about 1,545.)
