[sharechat] Some history (or useless facts)

From:	"Peter" <pmaiden@xtra.co.nz>

Some interesting facts (a bit of a worry for a buy and hold investor) from the Leuthold Group in the USA -

- It has taken an average of 18 years and 4 months to climb back to an 11% annual compounded return (including the reinvestment of dividends) following a bull market peak. This is based on the 20 peaks of the US markets this century.

- Those who invested at the peak of the market in 1929 still have not reach an 11% annual compounding return since.

- From the highs of 1987 it took 8 years to reach a 11% annual return - and that included part of the period when the S&P 500 returned a 26% annual compound rate from 1995 to 2000.

Somebody was interested in this sort of data the other day. Hope this helps.

Peter
