The S&P 500 Adjusted for Dividends and Inflation

Since the March CPI report came out this morning, I decided to take a look at the market’s long-term return.

This is the S&P 500 adjusted for dividends and inflation. I set the index to 100 in January 1983. The chart is logarithmic. In real terms, the stock market is exactly where it was 13 years ago.
