Vanguard Total Stock MKT ETF
It doesn't have to be a hypothetical — VTI was there. Here's exactly what happened to it through the global financial crisis and the recovery that followed.
VTI fell 51% from its 2007-10 peak to its 2009-02 trough — $10,000 at the peak dipped to about $4,916 — and took 53 months from peak to full recovery (dividends reinvested).
