Investing at the worst times

These are the annualized returns for an investor who bought the day before Covid-19, or just before the Great Financial Crisis in 2007, or at the peak of the Dot Com bubble - not ideal, but not disastrous in hindsight. 

The miracle of equities is that, despite your rotten luck, you still end up okay if you allow enough time to pass.
