from the above link this chart is amazing geocities.com Just one of many grisly elements you can extract from this DOW-inflation corrected graph is this : if you bought at the TOP in 1929 you could NOT sell at even-steven UNTIL the TOP in 2000. In other words it , when adjusting for inflation, took 71 years! to get even. Just think if you were 30 in 1929 that at the age of 101 you could have gotten your money back on an inflation corrected basis. This chart can be viewed in many ways, like can you find the sell-off in 1998?:) We are just entering the jaws of the bear methinks. The best scenario would be to get to the pits as soon as possible as in July 1932(market was a buy then), but that sure hasn't happened, yet. GD
