Chart of the Day: Not Risking is the Highest Risk

investment in the market is shown in blue and cash is shown in red

Today’s Chart of the Day from @petermallouk on X and shows the value of a dollar invested in the S&P 500 vs. sitting in cash for the last 30 years. It is always tempting to “not take the risk” of investing, but, over the long-term, history shows us that not taking the risk is the far riskier option.

This thought process is demonstrated by the value of a dollar going to only $0.47 after 30 years in cash vs. the $19.58 invested in the market. This reminds me of what Robert Arnott says, "In investing, what is comfortable is rarely profitable."
