Also note that putting that kind of money anywhere creates so much market impact in practice that the gains diminish considerably.
E.g. SPY, the most active S&P500 index (also the single most heavily-traded U.S. stock), had a total dollar volume of $275B for all of 2014. Buying billions' worth of it, even over long periods, would drive the price up in the process and make further purchases more costly.
