To keep her quite what? Quite pissed? Quite delighted?

This article is assuming a certain percentage of compounded return. Seeing as how the market keeps going up and then crashing big time, that doesn't seem like a valid assumption for the next few years anyway.

Of course it does. What else could it do?

If you're trying to build up to a million dollars over 30 or 40 years, what happens in the next few years doesn't matter. What matters is the long-term average (compounded) rate of return.

You need to think long-term.

Some time periods are still scary. Because of the dot-com crash your typical index funds are either flat or still feeling a loss after ten years! I used to think 3-5 years was short term. Now I have to consider a decade as the possible length of a market recovery. Ouch.
