"We believe, however, that the future of the equity market is quite favorable. Over the last 10 years, the economy of the United States has grown roughly 60%, from $9 trillion to $14.3 trillion as of June 30, 2008. Over a similar time period, the stock market has actually fallen by 20%. Over long periods of time, however, the stock market has historically tended to grow in line or a little faster than the economy. At some point in the not too distant future, we believe that the market will recoup this 80% differential and may rise significantly."
