Longer if you discount inflation over that time.
According to the article Vid has posted about a dozen times,
"An investor in the S & P 500 from 1929 through 1949 received an
inflation adjusted return of 4.54%."
What I said is correct.
Yes, but misleading. The article Vid posted was accurate. The writer
of that article understands that dividends are part of the return on
stocks.

Quibble fest, eh? Say, that sounds just like alexy. Maybe I need to write

You want to help? Go out into the neighborhood and talk to people and
tell them the truth. This is very similar to what happened in 1929 but
the result does not need to be anything like what happened then. It is
important that government be functional if we are to recover quickly from
this economic mess. That means that all Republicans must be removed from
government because they will do nothing but obstruct government as thast
is their holy grail. We are here because the Republicans put us here.
They are not ideologically capable of any beneficent government action
and everything they do will make the situation worse. |

One night, G.W. Bush was awakened by George Washington>s ghost.
Bush saw him and asked, "George, what is the best thing I could do to
help the country, if I am elected President?"
"Set an honest and honorable example, just as I did," advised George.
The next night, the ghost of Thomas Jefferson moved through the dark
bedroom.
"Tom, what is the best thing I could do to help the country, if I am
elected President?" Bush asked.
"Cut taxes and reduce the size of government," advised Tom.
Bush didn>t sleep well the next night, and saw yet another figure
moving
in the shadows. It was Abraham Lincoln>s ghost.
"Abe, what is the best thing I could do for the country, if elected
President?" Bush asked.
"Go to the theater," replied Abe. |

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HA HA HAH HAHAHAHHAHA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!
What was that about Jimmy Carter being the worst president??
Carter was criticized for knowing too much on too many topics and
being overly hands on. Mccain poses the opposite. Totally out of touch
and unequipped to evaluate what needs to be done.

McCain has mortgaged his assets to win. And in doing so has nothing to
appeal to the voters. He>s a Lehman of subprime mortgages.
His appeal was his integrity and honesty and his willingness to speak
truth to power. His reputation was that of one who did the right thing
for the country and the people in the face of the monied interests.
But all he abandoned all his Maverick points of honor to pick up the
evangelical, social conservative vote. Flip flopping on almost every
issue to get there.
And then when that resulted in him falling further behind he forgot
about the good of the country and picked Palin. And now as that has
him singing even more, he>s started swift boat lies about Ayers. He>s
taken a subprime mortgage now and pawned his integrity and honesty.
He has nothing left. He is morally, politically and ethically
bankrupt. There is no bail out for him. |
