    I told her that “point and figure charts, and the strateg

    He went on to tell me that he expected this would be a reasonable amount, because the market had returned an average of 15% per year for the previous 15 ye

    Even if the market didn’t make 15%, he said, he read somewhere that “over the long haul, the market returned a little over 10% per year, going back to the 1920’s.”

    One year later, in April, 2001, his 401K plan had a value of $979,000.

    By December 2002, his 401k account was worth $764,000.
