I enjoy slicing and dicing historical stock market returns. I’m not naive enough to assume this helps predict the future. However, studying the past can provide a baseline to help set expectations when it comes to risk and a potential range of outcomes. Here’s a different way to look at returns over various time horizons for the S&P 500 going back to 1993: This is how to read this chart: Pick a starting.

Stocks have produced some extremely strong returns during the current bull market. Since the S&P 500 reached a relative low in October 2022, the index has gone on to produce a total return of about 62% in less than two years. Those are some huge returns for investors. But not every stock is participating equally in the current bull market. Small-cap stocks , for example, haven't fared nearly as well as their large-cap counterparts.

Artificial intelligence rockstar Nvidia currently has a market capitalization of $2.9 trillion, but the chipmaker has flitted back and forth around $3 trillion for several months. Only two other publicly traded U.S. companies have crossed that threshold: Apple and Microsoft. Looking ahead, Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL) (NASDAQ: GOOG) could surpass Nvidia's current valuation to become $3 trillion companies by 2029.

They come with FDIC insurance and allow you to lock in at your starting rate, so you'll always know exactly how much your money will earn. Right now, though, CDs are doing something that's very unusual. This phenomenon could present a once-in-a-generation opportunity to earn a really great return at an even lower risk than normal.
