Summary:The holiday season brings friends and family together to feast, make merry, and bicker for a spell. Thankfully, the bickering is in short supply in the author's house and the food abundant. After the feast, talk usually turns to thoughts of what might happen in the new year. If you want to gauge how the markets have fared over the long term then it's best to turn to The CreditSuisse Global Investment Returns Yearbook, which records how stocks, and bonds, have fared globally from 1900 through 2013. Meanwhile bonds climbed only 1.8% per year. More locally, Canadians enjoyed gains of 5.7% per year for stocks and 2.1% per year for bonds.
