On Feburary 7, 1971, the Nasdaq Composite Index began with a base of 100.00. marketdata.nasdaq.com.

Now the Nasdaq composite is ~ 1228.

Averages are misleading and may suffer from "survivor bias". I do not know how many members of Nasdaq composite have been booted out of the index due to financial distress or bankruptcy.
