If you aim to get rich off stocks, then you’ll need to either start with a lot of money or do a lot better than most other investors. In fact, most don’t even earn an average return in the stock markets — let alone get rich off them.
As GOBankingRates recently reported, research from J.P. Morgan Asset Management found that during a 20-year period from 1998 to 2017, the S&P 500 returned an average of 7.1% per year. But the typical investor averaged only a 2.6% annual gain — barely above inflation.
