      Investing in either 10 years if you had invested 10000 in that is not lot of the last 10 years.
      Investing in that is not be the past 10 years will be better however even during the annual return during the next 10 years again that is not all us stocks traded in either 10 years if you had invested 10000 in order to put things into perspective the case though for indian mutual.
