38% return* for 8 years for both of these markets
(*excluding dividends on both TLT and SPY, and TLT gave off far more dividends along the way).
Notice how the massive drop in the stock market has grinded back to the level where bonds have been for the last 3-4 years.
There is no "trade" on this chart - only an interesting historical return of two markets roughly equaling each other after exactly 8 years. Good conversation starter for your next party.
Keep in mind too: You had to lose 56% of your money in order to earn a 4.75% return per year. That's why stocks are so challenging for people to hold onto during so many ups and downs.
