2000 to Today
Looking at the Numbers
This past March, I posted some figures marking the two-year anniversary of the March 9, 2009, low in the equity markets. With the recent turmoil, I thought I would expand the data base some, plus it gives you a reminder of key market highs as well.
All the following is based on closing prices. I have added the low for the week of 8/8-8/12 for each index.
S&P 500
3/24/00…1527 [then all-time high]
10/9/02…776
10/9/07…1565 [new all-time high}
3/9/09…..676
3/9/11….1320 [up 95% off the ’09 low]
8/8/11….1119
3/10/00…5048 [all-time high]
10/9/02…1114
10/9/07…2803
3/9/09….1268
3/9/11….2751 [up 117% off the ’09 low]
8/8/11….2357
Dow Jones
1/14/00…11722 [then all-time high]
10/9/02…7286
10/9/07…14164 [new al-time high]
3/9/09…..6547
3/9/11…..12213 [up 86% off the ’09 low]
8/10/11…10719
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
3/9/11….5937 [up 68% off the ’09 low]
8/10/11…5007
Frankfurt DAX
3/24/00…7932
10/9/02…2597
10/9/07…7980
3/9/09….3692
3/9/11….7131 [up 93% off the ’09 low]
8/10/11…5613
Tokyo Nikkei
3/24/00…19958
10/9/02…8539
10/9/07…17159
3/9/09….7086
3/9/11….10589 [up 49% off the ’09 low]
8/9/11….8944
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.
*So…look at the performance of all six of the above since the spring of 2000. None of them are close to being up since then.
12/31/10…1257
4/29/11….1363
6/15/11….1265
7/7/11…..1353
8/8/11…..1119
