Dan, I saw your post on the MITA thread, but as I am not able to follow many threads due to lack of time, I am asking you here... You said, <<It happens that the S&P 500 has completed that trip on a monthly chart going back to 1950 (as far back as I can get from Yahoo data). The average annualized rate of return over that period is 7.27%>> <<For the Dow going back to 1930 the average rate of return is 6.24% with the current mean at 6236. (The point to point annualized rate of return from January 1950 to now is 7.14%, comparable to the average rate for the S&P.)>> Is the return after inflation? Because, I remember reading, (in Barrons?), between 1966 and 1980 even though the index values remained the same, with inflation they were down by about 80-90%
