An Interesting Table, from an Avuncular Relative
see graph.
The uncle follows up on December 2, 2008:
I think the relevant part of this chart is missing - the point of the chart was that on so many occasions (I think it was approx. 50% of the time) the stock market closed the year within 3 percent of the high, but only closed within 3% of the low one time (1914);
The data I wanted to post included a second chart of the closes from the high.
The editor notes:
the second chart was published on December 2.
