Periodic Table of Investment Returns, from Pitt T. Maner III
Here is a Periodic Table of Asset Classes and Yearly Returns. It needs updating for 2013, but it's interesting to see how the Emerging Markets box moves from worst to best during several years (like Lithium, Li, volatile when exposed to air or water) or stays near the bottom (1994-1998) or top (2002-2007) over an extended time period.
Perhaps further detail would be useful to break out individual countries and sub-categories and stocks driving index returns and to make chart more interactive.
