Title: Long-Term Equities Auto-description: This video analyzes equities as an investment option for those interested in long-term returns, highlighting that they are also attractive for short-term traders. Reference is made to the importance of maintaining purchasing power through investments and proposes equities as the best option for those seeking passive management. A chart of the Spanish IBEX 35 stock market index, showing the thirty-five largest companies, is shown to illustrate the positive trend over the past twenty years, rising from 4,000 to approximately 10,000 points at the beginning of 2015. However, it is clarified that there has been little return for shareholders over the past fifteen years, with values remaining similar to those of 1998. It is also noted that dividends are not reflected in the chart, although they are an important source of return in equities. To illustrate the long-term behavior of the stock market, the U.S. Dow Jones Industrial Average is discussed, showing an upward trend from 1896 to 2015. A specific point is made about the 1929 crash and how the use of a geometric scale allows for a better representation of percentage variations and historical stock market crises. In conclusion, it is suggested that equities can be a viable investment alternative for those who wish to maximize their capital returns over a long time horizon rather than in the short term.
