Yes, the 12% Bob used in his study is for 81-98, which was an almost 
uninterrupted bull market.  Based on Steven's figures, it sounds like 
8-8.5% is valid for the looong haul since 1932.

I wonder:  Looking at the 8-8.5% rise since 1932, does the market 
normally drop back to the 8-8.5% line after extended bull runs?

If so, we could be looking at the possibility of a much larger drop 
than the ~6000 figure suggested by Bob's chart...
