A Look Back at Two Anniversaries
We recently had two big anniversaries, the 1st anniversary of the rally off the March 9, 2009 low, and the 10th anniversary of Nasdaq 5000…5048…on March 10, 2000.
So I thought we’d take a look at where the major averages were on key dates, starting with the 2000 market highs for the Big Three…the S&P 500, Nasdaq and the Dow Jones. The exercise is made easier by the fact 10/9/02 and 10/9/07 marked broad-based market lows and highs in all three, as did the 3/9/09 bottom.
S&P 500
3/24/00…1527 [then all-time high]
10/09/02…776
10/9/07…1565 [new all-time high]
3/9/09……676
3/9/10…..1140 [up 68.6% off the lows]
3/10/00…5048 [all-time high]
10/9/02…1114
10/9/07…2803
3/9/09…..1268
3/9/10…..2340 [up 84.5% off the lows]
Dow Jones
1/14/00…11722 [then all-time high]
10/9/02…..7286
10/9/07…14164 [new all-time high]
3/9/09……6547
3/9/10…..10564 [up 61.3% off the lows]
But what of the leading international indices? [using S&P high of 3/24/00 as benchmark date]
London FTSE
3/24/00…6738
10/9/02…3742
10/9/07…6615
3/9/09…..3542
3/9/10…..5602 [up 58.1% off the lows]
Tokyo Nikkei
3/24/00…19958
10/9/02…..8539
10/9/07…17159
3/9/09…....7086
3/9/10…..10567 [up 49.1% off the lows]
By the way, it was way back on 12/29/89…yes, 1989…that the Nikkei hit its all-time high of 38916. By 4/2/90, it was already down to 28002, and the rest is history.
3/24/00…$28.05
10/4/02-10/11/02…29.62-29.37
10/5/07-10/12/07…81.22-83.69
3/6/09-3/13/09…45.60-46.25
3/5/10-3/12/10…81.50-81.24
