Yoyo economy.. your on your own!

Why are the #s of the SPY vs the Index so different in its earlier years like 1995? (as compared to today its almost exact). I trying to get the returns of buy and hold excluding dividends and trying to figure out which to use. Today, they are pretty close, within a few pts.

bush bankrupted every business he was involved in, why should the country be any different? "MBA" President! :mad:

ah the ides of march, Happy B-day Murray, I just watched some trading videos of you from I think 1997!

be honest gnome, if a Democrat had suggested this (before what happened happened), wouldn't you be screaming about them be liberals and excessive regulators screwing everything up?

Maybe someone should explain that "free markets" doesn't mean you give away product for free!
