Comment Comment by WoodenChair I didn't believe you, so I looked at a chart and found you are right: https://www.macrotrends.net/1319/dow-jones-100-year-historic...And the same is basically true if you bought in 1966. What this tells me is that the Dow Jones (or stock market in general?) is not a good indicator (or even proxy) of wealth. Because GDP obviously grew immensely in both 30 years periods. parent WoodenChair 7 years ago
