Look at the graph, if you draw a straight line from the start to end of the graph, it is the average return, it is a positive slope. Most of us failed in investing because we only look the short term, we lack to have that long term vision.
If you want to invest in stocks or mutual fund, see to it that your goal is for long term to minimize the risk of not gaining.
