Take a look at this chart of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Standard & Poor’s 500, and the NASDAQ index for the ten year period that just ended:

The DJIA ended the decade about 7% higher than where it started, but most of that can be attributed to gains during the month of December 2010. The S&P and NASDAQ both ended the decade lower than where they started.
