The first graph shows the S&P 500 since 1990.
The dashed line is the closing price today. The S&P 500 was first at this level in April 1998; over 11 1/2 years ago.
The S&P 500 is up 67% from the bottom (451 points), and still off 28% from the peak (438 points below the max).
The second graph is from Doug Short of dshort.com (financial planner): “Four Bad Bears”.
Note that the Great Depression crash is based on the DOW; the three others are for the S&P 500.
