Compound Interest Doesn't Add Much To Your Wealth by Francis Kier
... There are many problems with market averages, but the 10.7% is not any kind of accurate annual compounded growth rate.

The Point Behind Point & Figure by Thomas Mullooly
... Right now, he wants to forget about asset allocation, pie charts and “pie in the sky” stories of long-term returns and growth rates.

Moral of the story: when the point and figure charts go on defense, we should heed the warning! Please don’t get “sucked in” to the concept that the market returns an “average of ___% per year” and “over the long haul” things will work out OK.
