This figure rises to 94% if held for 10 years, and 100% if held for 20 years. Data for the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.etoro.com\/markets\/dj30\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dow Jones<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tells a similar story when analyzing the last century of price action, with the probability of a positive return rising from 73% for one year to 96% for a 20-year relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Nasdaq Composite is the youngest index of the trio, but it highlights how dating can have its highs and lows before turning into something special. Dating back to 1972, the index had suffered six annual declines in excess of 30%, compared to just one such decline for the more well-established Dow Jones and S&amp;P 500. One of those annual declines weighed in at a painful 40%. However, the Nasdaq has been the best-performing index over the last 20 years, up almost 1,000%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Bret Kenwell, US Investment Analyst at eToro comments on the findings: <\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAs the investing adage goes, time in the market beats timing the market. Sometimes investors forget how resilient the stock market can be. Just like relationships, there are ups and downs when investing, so it\u2019s important to keep the bigger picture in mind and not be too quick to go running for the hills when things seem bleak.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOur analysis underscores how a long-term commitment to a well-diversified mix of stocks can deliver impressive returns down the stretch. Despite some tough times along the way \u2014 and there were several in this 100-year study \u2014 investors who held on for the long term were handsomely rewarded.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Table 1: Likelihood of a positive return from holding different indices<\/b><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><b>1Y<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>5Y<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>10Y<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>20Y<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Nasdaq\u00a0<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">74%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">86%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">96%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">100%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>S&amp;P 500<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">73%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">88%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">94%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">100%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Dow<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">73%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">86%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">92%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">96%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><b><i>Source: Bloomberg<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eToro\u2019s data also looked at five long-term relationships where loyalty paid off, as well as five short-term flings that left investors heartbroken when it came to stocks over the past ten years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Investors who rode out the tough times with companies like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.etoro.com\/markets\/avgo\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Broadcom<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.etoro.com\/markets\/anet\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arista Networks<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.etoro.com\/markets\/tsm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TSMC<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, staying strong through 50-60% dips, were eventually rewarded with massive gains (table 2). Broadcom, for example, saw its share price crash 53% from January to March 2020, but recovered 1,450% by the time of its all-time high in January 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, investors who were swept off their feet by eye-catching rallies posted by the likes of Zoom, Peloton and Docusign were less lucky in love, as these stocks came crashing down soon after and continue to underperform the market (table 3). Peloton saw the biggest rally at 870%, but also the biggest plunge at 98%, and today its share price is far from where it was at its IPO.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Kenwell adds:<\/b> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOur list of \u2018short-term flings\u2019 thrived in the early days of COVID, but that thrilling honeymoon phase quickly soured as lockdown measures eased.
