Today's Chart of the Day, from BlackRock, illustrates the potential downside of staying in cash for too long. It highlights the excess returns of a 60% stock/40% bond portfolio compared to cash since 1926. The top bars (red) show these returns; for instance, a 10-year holding period yields returns 100% higher than cash.
The black boxes below show the percentage of time cash underperforms; for 10 years, that is 91% of the time.
