As a macro investor, I'd say there is plenty to learn from the last 100yrs.

Forgetting the pre-GFC period leaves a very narrow set of plausible set of macro regimes that could drive asset prices ahead and far too much hope that stocks have reliable double digit returns when they don't.

When it comes to strategic portfolio allocation, you shouldn't really have a particular view. Better to think that any collection of 20 years we've seen in the last 100 could come ahead and diversify enough to be well prepared for all of them.

A good point!
