Here you go Anthony Ramos, right from Schiller himself - most of the returns on the S&P 500 come from dividends, not capital appreciation. The real S&P composite has increased 12.2-fold from January 1890 to December 2014, or 2.03 percent per year, much less than most people would have guessed. Most of the real return in the stock market over the last century has come from dividends, not real capital gains, said Shiller. And this tidbit: If we had much stronger 401K [retirement]-type programs in the United States, much more heavily pushed, much bigger commitment from everybody, would that replace homeownership as a way to build wealth? asked David Blitzer, chairman and managing director at S&P Dow Jones Indices. Right now my impression is that the tax benefits of a 401(k) plan or other contribution pension plans pale compared to home ownership. https://homes.yahoo/news/where-put-cash-house-stock-181200118.html
