The stock market has always experienced volatility, but some stocks are safer than others. Investing stocks in reliable funds long-term is a proven way to increase the value of your earnings. Bad experience as a retail day-trader are expected, and not a reflection of long term investments in funds administrated by knowledgeable financial professionals.
The only thing that could end the trend of diversified portfolios appreciating in value is total economic collapse, but the loss of my investments would be the least of my worries in that scenario.
