Just ask yourself this. Take your Vanguard index fund portfolio to a bank and ask how much they will lend you on it ...with only the index fund as security ?
STW or VAS.
Ok IV aka Intravenous therapy,
How would Erko be today via your stats on STW or VAS?
For STW refer Australian shares, ASX 200 accum index. This is based on all divis reinvested via DRP. Page three of attachment, its a pretty good chart.
10k 1984
278k 2014
Now ETFs were not traded on the ASX way back then, and the first genuine index fund (afaik) didn't open in Oz until 1998 (Vanguard Australian shares) but index funds are index funds, and would have performed very similarly to the accumulation index with DRP box ticked. Bogle's Common sense on mutual funds is worth a read.
Yep bhp and the banks smashed it
come on mate you are not that silly STW??????.
Uhhh ...BHP ? .....smashed it ? Have you seen a 5 year chart of BHP?
5 years ago BHP was around 38 bucks.
Price now is ... drum roll .....BHP is around 38 bucks.

Seems to me the only person who really lost was the one who bought the car (maybe because he was renting)
"On average" should also be added to that statement.Noice MTR,considering the spruiks say props double every 10yrs ,well done
And, there's the depreciation deductions for property - which increase the returns numbers..Few issues here
The share buffs are comparing property returns against 'blue chip' aussie stocks

What about all the other shares in the portfolio that didn't stack up? Every property bought $25 years ago has had good return - no matter where the location
Leverage? Stuff all people will ever leverage shares
Rent- all the share buffs still have to pay rent, which goes up all the time. All the property gurus don't have a mortgage any more

Why is that Deltaberry?
