    15% monthly payout is not that big thing for everyone else. I even think you really can seen people who promised something like few percents a day of growth really. So I do not understand all these things. How does that sounds to you really ? It's closed as well.

    Privet/Hello Z,

    the topic, is about - simple, ordinary people, so :

    ,, The average stock market return is 10%

    The S&P 500 index comprises about 500 of America’s largest publicly traded companies and is considered the benchmark measure for annual returns. When investors say “the market,” they mean the S&P 500.


    Measured by the S&P 500 index, stocks return an average of about 10% annually over time.


    Keep in mind: The market’s long-term average of 10% is only the “headline” rate: You’ll lose purchasing power of 2% to 3% every year due to inflation, which puts the market’s average inflation-adjusted return at about 7% to 8% annually. ''
