Chart of the Day: Stocks From 1824 to Today

chart shows upward climb of stock returns in navy blue from 1824 to 2024

Contents

Today’s Chart of the Day comes from Bank of America research provided by Ibbotson, which is an investment research company. It is a nice follow up chart to the View from the Top of the Hill presentation we recently provided. In the post, it's noted that $1 invested in U.S. large company stocks in 1824 was worth $16 million in October 2023 with dividends reinvested. This is a sharp illustration of the power of compounding interest and total return. It would be interesting to see the return for the next 200 years.
