Losing Perspective

SEARCH BLOG: ECONOMY and PERSPECTIVE

It's been a rough 5 days on Wall Street with the DJIA down about 6% and a lot of people getting very worried about their investments.




The whole last month has been a big slide down of over 7%.



The last three months could leave your head spinning with the roller coaster ride if you look too closely.



So maybe we need to step back a bit to add some perspective.... How about a year?



Or maybe 5 years?



This reminds me of some other charts. Of course you need to step back for real perspective.

And then someone might come along and change the data, too.
