If you look at Exxon's financial statements it says they have 228 billion in retained earnings. What would keep a company like this from say buying wal-mart they could buy the whole thing with ...
Not much maybe %6 a year would be good. You could always pick a stock that turns into a major winner. But that requires investing in emerging companies. That's real risky and unless your ready to lose as much as you can make. Big time investors don't mind losing a million here or a million there. If they get one winner then they can receive great returns that wipe out all the losses. For myself I would go with value stocks in companies that operate on sound business practices and return normal profits. They'll be around in 5 to 10 years.Another route if you wanted more returns would be looking into emerging products. The next big thing. What are the kids going crazy over now. The companies that make,sell, and supply these products will have good returns causing their stock to go up. If you can get in before the big time investors catch on then your golden.

could go to zero if you pick the wrong stocks-- historical returns in the stock market are about 10-11% per year long term

With a 7 to 10 percent return, which is average for the market over 5 to 10 years it could be worth between 700 thousand and 1.3 million.

Depends on how you invest; I think 8% is a reasonable rate of return, since the stocks are starting so low. Choose 5-8 stocks and go from there.

The value in any future period depends mostly on the stocks one purchases. Several examples have been shown to finance students in both rising markets and falling markets.There are stocks which lose value during rising markets and gain during falling markets. All are not winners or losers. At today's Dow the average is 14 times what it was in 1974. That is a 34 year period. The rule of thumb was at 6% the investment should double in 10.

in the current market? You'd be very lucky not to lose money over the next year or two.
