How good are common stocks on the NYSE 40-year study
The Journal of Business previews a Center for Research in Security Prices report showing a 9.3 percent average annual return from 1926 to 1965 for all NYSE common stocks, with 12.6 percent in the postwar 1945–1965 window. It notes risks, taxes, reinvestment effects, and that outcomes vary by year and investor tax cases.

Random Stock Picks would likely profit at 78 percent pace
A 1965 study by the Center for Research in Security Prices tested random stock selection from 1926 to 1960. Buying every NYSE stock monthly, reinvesting dividends, and selling each subsequent month yielded a median 9.8 percent annual return, with over half the trades doubling money and many exceeding 5 percent.
