Snitz mansplains how investing in stocks "risk" depends on how long?

I fired up Claude Ai to calculate the probability that you might suffer an investment loss (S&P 500 index fund for example).

• If you're only investing for one year, the chance of losing money is about 25%,

• If you're investing for 5 years the chance drops to 12.5%.

• By 10 years the chance drops to 6%.

• Arithmetically speaking, equity investing is risky in the short term, but not necessarily in the long term.
