I am looking for numbers too, but I know that until the very latest part of the 90s... the 50s were by far the best decade for stocks. The 50s and 60s boomed for stocks in the USA, then we had a bad 70s, a great 80s/90s and then of course.... this booming stock market of today (according to the folks on this thread).

The problem is there was no naz in the 50s/60s so the major exchanges had all the growth stocks of the day which were the autos, IBM etc.

It is false that the 80s represented some kind of statistical anomaly in investing.
