you are currently getting 12%? and have been doing so throughout the market down turn?
The SP500 has averaged 12% over the past 50-80 years. Market downturns mean a sale on stocks so as I continue to invest during low market times - and even increase investing - I'm buying stocks at a cheaper price so I get more bang for my monthy $1000 investment. The market always rebounds. And yes, I'm getting almost exactly what the SP is doing as I have those type of SP funds.

only problem is after the down turn you are making 12% on less money than you had...I understand that "time in the market beats timing the market" but that continual 12% stuff seems a bit skewed to me.

Its an average. Do you understand basic math?
That fund did 29% all of last year on an average. This year the market is down but its early and its still doing 5%.
Thats a 2 year average of 17% if it stays at 5% this year. Which it wont but I cant predict it.
And if I look at the 30 year average, its 11.9%
