If you are the average guy with a 401k that's diversified and left alone, you can assume you are tracking close to a major index. Take the S&P 500: Tracking that, you would have made 1.58% a year in the last 5 years. In the last 10 it would have been 4.17%. The 10 year is bearable, but certainly not the 8% you always hear about ... the last 5 years just plain sucked, and that's after a huge recovery.
You just have to spread your $ around. A big chunk should go into a classic aircooled Porsche. You can drive it and it has similar returns - if not better!
Cheers,
George
