Downturn is the best time to buy, buy. It is directly dependant on your portfolio mix. There are upcoming enterprises in a new industry/sector, which are out there to make quick fill of the demand-supply in the market – 5 years is maximum for them. Decade long wait is void there. 5 years of market trend study is enough to make a better portfolio decision. The 25 year wait may come at any point of upside turn. The timing of selling determines what percentage you are making.

We have many sectors that have fallen to those levels, and we should see things improve from here. Growth companies that many of us would never touch (why should we buy a company for the price of its next 30 years earnings?) will probably continue to fall, as their last couple of years' earnings are not the average of their trailing earnings. Bottom line: we are in a better position to buy now than we were one or two years ago, and we are in a much better position than when the markets were priced like this in 2003 and 1998 (earnings have grown into the lofty P/E ratios of those years past).

The range of 20 year returns is between 6.7% and 13.48%. I would expect that 20 year returns from the recent lows would be in the upper end of this range.
