At the same time, restructuring companies like J. Glad everyone finds the data interesting, but agree as with everything it raises many questions / conundrums even as it sheds light. Some will say that looking at returns over such a very long period is therefore misleading.

(http://monevator.com/2010/03/10/us-historical-asset-class-returns/). Inflation continued to plague the U.S. economy and by 1979 it had reached double-digit levels.

who found that this resulted in the same average rate of return but at only HALF the risk due to the diversification involved.

So the mechanics of how to do this global diversification and actually *get* diversity aren’t clear to me, it doesn’t seem as simple as buy global index fund regularly, sit back, and wait . Korea’s move now to the frontier is also pretty interesting? @Roger — They are in local currency terms. (I assume you’ve got a century to wait.

Based solely on the CAPE ratio, the most expensive stock markets (among the 16 largest economies measured by GDP) can be found from United States, India and France. That is to say, if you’d invested 1000 Lira in the Italian market 111 years ago, you’d have 6000 Lira now.

Soon after, Bill Clinton’s campaign guru, James Carville, would coin the adage: “It’s the economy stupid.”. Conventional wisdom says that those liberal Dems are generally bad for the economy and the stock market because of their big government tendencies, while fiscally conservative Republicans are good. By mid 2009, the U.S. had recovered from the financial crisis, setting the stage for the longest bull market in history over the following eight years. Countries that have now faded like Argentina were arguably far more developed back then.

That list includes grocery chain Safeway, fast food chain Burger King, international racing operator Formula One Group, and hotel and casino company Caesars Entertainment (then called Harrah’s Entertainment). As the second President Bush took office, the stock market was still reeling from the dot-com crash: “He couldn’t get anything right—in terms of bad timing and inheriting Clinton’s stock market bubble,” says Stovall. I’m surprised to see the 6% real return – that’s incredible! A recession was avoided after the Federal Reserve panicked and reduced interest rates.

Prime London office space still on sale in the stock market.

The classic portrayal of teenage boys engaged in Super Mario after school in their parents’ basement has all but dissipated. Over nearly 30 years, the S&P 500 has increased by 901%, which is the most out any of these major indices.

Now, this isn’t easily possible directly, but the best way to do it could be through a global ETF or something. The economy bounced back quickly as consumer and business confidence returned, but Truman then faced another recession (albeit brief) in 1949 after his Fair Deal economic reforms which raised the minimum wage and tried to guarantee equal employment rights. As a result, Truman faced a recession and bear market early in his term.

TI, no, I don’t want to do the “data mining” you describe. @Rob — You’re looking at the bond column. I wonder how much the close connections with the UK contributed to NZ and Australia’s fantastic returns in the 1900s? The US long-term performance of 6.2% real goes back to 1870 (Shiller) and according to Jeremy Siegel (Stocks for the Long Run) to 1800, long before the US hegemony. Frequent the business section of your favorite newspaper long enough, and you’ll see mentions of private equity (PE).

just about half way through Shiller ‘Irrational Exuberance’ theres some stuff in a similar vein, particularly best/worst 1/5years for a whole slew of indices and what happened over the following adjacent time-span. Maybe it’s because a struggling company got bought out and taken private, just as Toys “R” Us did in 2005 for $6.6 billion. In some cases like the presidency of Bill Clinton, who was in office during one of the most impressive periods of economic prosperity (and bull markets) in history, you won't see an expansion listed.

The United States was already eight years into the longest economic recovery in history when President Trump was elected. PS the UK recovered +73.0% the following year (Nov1974-Nov1975) – Nuts! I am fascinated by the financial industry’s power and influence around the. We then transformed all of this data to be on the same scale of the S&P 500, so performance can be directly compared to the common American stock market benchmark.

2. quoting compound returns over time-spans far greater than anyone can hope to invest for is poor practice and misleading.

Personally, I’d hedge my bets on all the above. Over time, Sony has only widened the gap between themselves and the competition. “Bush was book-ended by bears and recessions.” The economy eventually began to recover somewhat as Greenspan and the Federal Reserve methodically raised interest rates again between 2004-2006. Stagflation continued into Ford’s tenure, but the stock market rebounded in 1975. To demonstrate the impact of PE, we break down the funds raised by the top 25 firms over the last five years. Unlike other investment firms such as hedge funds, private equity firms take a direct role in managing their assets. @TI,

For gamers in the latter category, there comes a monumental time when the cycle flips the page to the next generation of consoles. We have provided a few examples below that you can copy and paste to your site: Your data export is now complete. Especially mine. First, we need to differentiate between private equity and other forms of investment. If you use our chart images on your site or blog, we ask that you provide attribution via a link back to this page. A similar US portfolio would have multiplied 1,248 times!

A Democratic sweep would almost certainly mean a rollback of Trump’s massive corporate tax cut (a negative for stocks), but additional economic stimulus (which the market apparently loves despite deficit implications) and stability on the China trade front would be a big positive. It’s a shame they don’t provide standard deviation / volatility information here, to this point and to Alex’s. By using US dollars as a consistent currency, the.

Full disclaimer and privacy policy. That’s a bit of an embarrassing mistake on my part (hangs head in shame). In contrast a Swiss investor in its lower-returning equities would have seen his money multiply a mere 137 times, while an Italian Rip Van Winkle (and a bit) would have only seen his funds increase nine-fold after more than a century.6.

Check a sample dataset from here. In fact, PlayStation sits quite comfortably on the top of the podium, with the PS2 alone experiencing greater sales than both the Xbox 360 and Xbox One combined. However, 50 yrs ago the Rand and $ were 1:1, but now it takes say R8 to purchase 1$. This, of course, is your point about Japan (and others)…. “It was a very stressful time for investors and the Federal Reserve,” says Stack, adding that 1980 was the “wildest year in monetary history.” A recession hit in January, but was over by July 1980 after the Fed reversed course and brought interest rates down somewhat. I am fascinated by the financial industry’s power and influence around the globe, and the ingenuity of the people it employs (not so much a fan of the lack of accountability when the system fails). Carter’s term in office was also marked by an energy crisis following the Iranian Revolution that deposed Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi in February 1979, and led to revolutionaries seizing the U.S. embassy in Tehran in November and holding hostages until the end of Carter’s presidency.

For accuracy, he’s not based at the University of Cambridge: he left employment there in 2006 (source: his CV at http://www.sens.org – and the Wikipedia entry you cite).

They now take front and center in people’s homes as a centralized hub for all things entertainment. Returns represent total annual returns (reinvestment of all distributions) in U.S. dollars and does not include fees and expenses. The economy slowed toward the end of Bush’s term, accompanied by a large commercial real estate bust. His is an ‘unconventional’ position. Visualizing All of Earth’s Satellites: Who Owns Our Orbit?

The late 60s and the late 90s.

Thanks for reading! – Worse performers often affected by war or domestic strife. Hmm… I’ll probably just stick with a 10% allocation to an EM tracker thanks!

The Japanese situation really makes my point for me…it was, and is, the result of a truly massive bubble, probably the biggest ever, justified at the time by “Japan’s different”. Thanks, Ben. In this piece, I’m going to analyze the historical local currency real total returns of different stock markets around the world: 46 different large cap indices, 12 different small and mid (SMID) cap indices, and, for the U.S., 4 different style indices–growth, momentum, quality, and value. Or maybe a tracker fund that includes lots of the Pacific nations?

In real returns, traditionally strong economies do better, take Sweden for example with 2.2% real returns, but their greatest enemy would appear to be losing a world war: look at the real returns of Germany, Italy and Japan (though maybe Japan’s a bit special). I joined Forbes in 2010. But the data shouldn’t be used as a basis for cherry-picking one country over another when deciding how to allocate your money for the future.

Even before then, the value of Germany’s bonds was utterly destroyed by its rampant inflation prior to the war years. Japan is two decades out for the count now.
