Long Term Investors Can Weather Market Declines

Volatility in the stock market can be scary, but it’s also to be expected. Although intrayear declines in the S&P 500 have averaged 13.4% since 1948, annual price returns have been positive in 51 of those 70 calendar years. For investors willing to stay the course through periods of negative market returns, the results on the other side can be encouraging as markets often reward long-term investors.
