Chart of the Day, 2008 Might Make 100 Year History
Posted on Wed 10th Dec, 2008 06:11:23 PM
The market has had a rough 2008, but how does it stack up against other severe bear markets? This chart shows the Dow Jones Industrial and the 15 worst years as a whole since 1900. Surprisingly enough this year may finish worse than even 1929.
As of the close today the Dow Jones is officially down 33.9% so this chart is missing a few of the recent rally days. Nonetheless interesting.
