When you retire and need to withdraw funds what if its down? You lose correct? So aren't you gambling that its up when you need it ? Isn't it like a 50/50 chance? Those aren't very good odds.

I'm gambling that over the course of the 40 years or so that I'll have this plan that the stock market will be increasing far more than it will be decreasing.

Usually a good gamble, and one where the odds are greater than 50%.
