Just curious about why you say this. I'm not saying you're wrong (because you aren't), but I would just like to know why you made this statement with conviction. I'm very aware something could happen, but I also experienced this in 2008. My 10+% returns have been on average since 2005. That's not to suggest or assume they will continue on this trend, but I am fairly confident that even in a recession or crash, the markets will eventually recover. I also keep on hand a decent amount of interest bearing cash to take advantage of these situations, and also protect from the downside. But like with any investment, there are risks.
