8% is a lot to bank on…

Not with dividends reinvested. 8% is certainly attainable, especially if you start investing the middle of a bear market.

The average return per year from the very bottom of a bear market to the peak of a bull market is between 15%-19%.

Obviously you can’t time the bottom of a bear market, but you can dollar cost average into it. And eventually the bull market begins and at some point you’ll be up 15%-19% during the bull run (assuming buying at the bottom).

That’s not my point. My point is if you dca into a bear market an 8% return on average per year in a bull market is certainly attainable.
