Realities of Investing

This chart caught my eye. This shows the long-term performance of Consumer Discretionaries (XLY) and Energy (XLE). Note how different they are. Both have had periods of tremendous growth, and both have also had rough patches.

These aren’t individual stocks but major market sectors, and they’re still vulnerable to the whims of the market.
