So much financial planning, retirement planning etc. is predicated on the idea of stock investments returning somewhere in the ballpark of about 10% per year.  Historically, this is pretty accurate I believe.
   However, since 2000, we have had somewhere around 0% return for the broadest US index funds.  Obviously that figure isn't going to last forever, but sooner or later I wonder if we should be adjusting our expectations of what we can expect from stock investing.
