S&P 500 historical graph:

1. See if you can spot the Clinton Years (1993-2000)

2. See if you can spot the two recessions under Bush.

OCU> The rest of the markets came through it pretty much unscathed.


Tell that to my 401K.
The S&P 500 - which is not NASDAQ - lost nearly
50% of its value.

(VFINX is Vanguards S&P 500 index fund.)

. . .

VFINX just got back to 2000 value in Aug 2007

VFINX just got back to 2000 value in Aug 2007

I look at the 10 year chart, and VFINX, Vgd 500 Index, just got back to 2000 year value in Aug 2007. It took 7 years to come back to the 2000 level.

Can someone please explain why that makes the Vgd 500 Index such a good value?
