The Lost Decade

Here’s a look at the total return of the S&P 500 adjusted for inflation. We’re still below the peaks from 2000 and 2007. In fact, we’re less than 5% higher than where we were 13 years ago.

Note that the July CPI report isn’t out yet so I assumed 0% inflation for the last data point.
