The 2024 numbers are finally in and we have produced the #1 investment decision in the  Bootcamp series. There is no question that the biggest lifetime decision an investor makes is the choice between the safety of bonds and the potential long term growth of stocks.  Here is a⁠ link⁠ to the pdf of the set of slides Paul uses in the presentation.  The presentation includes the ⁠updated 1, 15 and 40 year returns tables ⁠ along with the  ⁠quilt charts for the 1928 to 2024 period⁠.

Our thanks to  Daryl Bahls who has put together most of the tables in the Bootcamp series.

If you have questions please send them to ⁠paul@paulmerriman.com⁠.  Please put  Bootcamp #1 in the subject line.
