I'm talking about the index.

No, you haven't.

Because if you did, you woulnd't be looking at an exponential and saying "but but but it reverts!!!!"




Please give me an example of a company that has consistently produced annual return higher than the SP500 average over 50+ years (hell, 20+ years).

So what most people do - buy a stock that has already gone up a lot, are basically buying high and selling low.
