So when they talk about average stock returns, remember sometimes we make more, sometimes less. Why would anyone want to give up the chance for more, by "locking" in average rates of return in bonds? Seems to me that what appears equal at first sight may not really be equal. Throw in dividends and covered calls, and is it even close? Of course, you don't want to pick bottom of the barrel stocks, tongue in cheek! And, you must buy and sell properly. Too much maintenance for people.
