Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Nikkei 225 (Japan's equivalent to the S&P500) hasn't recovered since the crash of 89: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/%5EN225/

Which I think is interesting comparatively, because the S&P/DOW has had decently substantial downturns multiple times, but always recovered++ historically.
- mariojv 4y agoI think you'd come out ahead reinvesting dividends (play with a calculator like https://dqydj.com/nikkei-return-calculator/ https://dqydj.com/nikkei-return-calculator/), but yeah, the returns are abysmal even accounting for that. They've had low to no inflation for decades but even the nominal returns aren't good. I am not sure how the returns look if you account for cost averaging vs. lump sum investing.
