I would say the consensus of most experts would be:  We don't know.  But odds are better than 50-50 it will go up.  The stock market has gone up an average of ~10% a year since 1926.

Well, let's look at what happened 50 years ago  In 1956,  business was done by paper, consumer products led industry and education was combination mostly trade prep.  Today business is electronic, industry is service with women in workforce and education is college prep.  In 50 years I suspect business will be nearly 100 percent global with uniform currency, manufacturing will become a more "do it yourself" venture where you will be able to buy a machine can recreate many items, and education will change little.

A resounding yes!\nMarkets have grown since the beginning of time.  All the stock market does is show the level of trade between humans and business.  This started with the first transaction when Eve gave Adam an apple.  And has been happening and increasing throughout time.  To say that you don't think that stock market is worthwhile, or that it will not increase, means that man, and civilization will not expand, get better, grow.  The markets have to grow as man grows in ever increasing ways, from technology, from increased population, from new discoveries, from things we cannot even imagine yet.\n\nSo in my humble opinion the markets may not be perfect, but they will continue to grow, continue to exist, and are definitely worthwhile!

Decline in some areas, maybe (manufacturing comes to mind)...but in terms of research, development, and especially services...these are what will buoy the US over the next fifty years.\n\nThis is what happens during the development of a one-world economy. The idea of the nation is, in some ways, obsolete.

No. It would not. Go ahead and do it. When I started I put all my money into one stock--10 shares of Household Finance.  You have to start somewhere and sometime.  Now is a better time than a month ago.   But next month might be a better time still or even next year.

I would think so.  Unless it is devalued as part of a financial reorganization it should continually increase in value.

You are absolutely right but unfortunately I don't see it changing anytime soon. History has shown us time and again that as the gap between the haves and the have nots widens, empires crumble. America will ultimately complete its cycle as the dominant world empire and some other empire will rise up to take its place. If our "corporate leaders" were not so focused on short term profit maybe the process can be slowed down somewhat. But in our present economic climate, where worldwide corporations have no allegiance to particular nations, I don't see that happening anytime soon

nope cause the competitors also will use IT but not doing so spells disaster\n\nthe problem is deciding HOW MUCH to invest and where the company that gets the formula correct will be ahead in five years ( if the rest of the business model is correct )

There is a good chance of that with its growing economy.
