The S&P 500 has a mean return on investment of about 10% a year. (It depends on the size of your window for the moving average, as of course the stock market will go down in recessions.) This is the return you'd expect on average from investing in an index fund.

10 seems seems way too high! The long term rate of return I think it was 6-8% depending on how one adjusts for inflation. But maybe if one doesn't include recessions it's higher, but recessions even if a fraction of the total number of years, have large negative returns
