If there is an increase in price. That's why my 401K is in bonds, and has
been since '04. The market is just too volatile and will be until Obummer
gets the heave-ho.

Since WWII, there has never been a 20 year period that had less than 7%
average real return on the S&P. Including the one ending in 2011.
Volatile now is small potatoes over long period of time and 401(k) for
most of us are long period of time since life expectancy suggests we'll
have around 25 years post retirement.

Since I'll be 60 this year...
