Good point - look at my frustration with Large Caps.
My large cap performed (off of memory) for 10 years: 5.83%
The total bond index Steve referenced performed for 10 years 5.78%
So. . .for much less risk the bonds nearly matched the blue chip stocks performance for the last 10 years in performance.
So, in a way, wouldn't you rather be a bond holder than a stock holder? At least being a bond holder, you are paid first, shareholders second.
