TLDR: - We are comparing the dot-com bubble with post-brexit and post-corona. - Though taking dividends into account we are still 77% up.

- jfengel 6y agoThe latter is a huge difference. 77% in 20 years isn't exactly a great return (about 3%, around one point ahead of inflation in the UK), but that's not unreasonable for what's supposed to be a safe investment. The US stock market gives us all unreasonable expections, with decades of irrational exuberance. FTSE100 is more traditionally blue-chip, returning its profits via dividends rather than constantly expanding.
