I'll stick with my math. There are many ways to look at something.

The power of compounding would seem great until you adjust for inflation
which I have no figures for but a head of beef sold for 2 to 3 dollars in
the movies. Some things are probably 100 times as expensive especially real
estate. So divide 9500 by 100 you get 95. If this voodoo math is right we
are only about 3.3 times as high as the all time low.
