I agree with you. Just because the market has done poorly the past 10 years is not a valid justification for not investing going forward. If anything, just the opposite is true. With the market down 40-50% off its highs, that's a great time to be investing if you have a long-term outlook.

Nothing terrible about a 6% return but I don't think it's a great long-term plan.
