Cem Karsan warns investors about a possible repeat of the 1968-1982 era when the stock market's nominal returns were flat but real returns, adjusted for inflation, fell by 40% over 14 years. This prolonged period of lost purchasing power could severely impact retirement portfolios, especially for those near or in retirement. Karsan advises against moving to cash, as inflation erodes its value too, and suggests diversification and risk-adjusted strategies instead. Investors should focus on real returns and stress-test retirement plans for scenarios with stagnant markets and rising living costs.
