For the people that don't get a reasonable return for the risk they take - that's on them.
The last 5 years huh...That definitely paints a full picture of how investments work over time...sign me up. Wait nothing bad ever happens to investments though....what happened before 5 years ago? Y'know around 2009?

Seriously though 7% year over year is an absurdly high figure.
