Speaking of decades, if you had to pick one asset to buy for the decade and you had to just hold it, what would that be? For example, these would have been great decade-long holds without trading:

1999—buy gold
1989—buy tech stocks
1979—buy US stocks

My long pull ideas for 2010- 2019:

biotech — (buy a biotech mutual fund and forget it)
tech (robotics, space, warfare)
China (no brainer)
US real estate — (it should recover by 2019, eh?)
commodities — (feed China) 

Kim Zussman looks at it differently:

Counting years ending in 9 as end-of decade, if DOW closes near where it is now — this will be the first down decade since the one ending in 1939. Here are decade returns and alongside the subsequent decade:

Not related to day-trading, but long (10+yr) period movements of the stock market could affect contemporaneous investors' future outlooks. E.g., those in stocks 1990-2000 experienced something very different from the recent (down?) decade.
