Paul, this is really a misleading chart, it should have been plotted half logarithmically, then you would see the 1929 debacle, on this chart it is a blip. On a logarithmic chart you will also see that the trend is not that far from the growth in the the economy and the decline in the dollar. On a logarithmic scale, of course, a decline of 5000 points on the dow from 9300 will look like another blip in a long term ascending line.
