Every company ever listed in Nasdaq that went bankrupt and failed, with investors losing all their money, is removed from the annual percentage calculation, that is why it is so high - it lists only surviving companies and failure is not tallied.

what are you saying you are dest?
Sounds like it, but I remember this old Kevin Bacon movie where he was a trader who had made $30 million and then lost it all and ended up becoming a bike messenger and he said to one of his co-workers something like "Having that much money and losing it, is much worse than never having had it in the first place"
I found a dollar bill on the side walk 3 days ago (in the NYC, would you believe it?). In terms of return on capital, that was the best trade of my life.
Here is a smaller short-term account, more than doubled since October 2019. I withdrew my initial investment but it's still holding up. Quite neat how IB PortfolioAnalyst calculates time-weighted return (TWR), so deposits and withdrawals don't impact the cumulative return. I actually opened this futures account primarily for that capability. At least 100 trades so far.
Famous Companies Dropped From the S&P 500:
The S&P 500 is a fluid index, which means that certain components are removed and replaced from time to time. For example, companies may be removed if they are in some type of financial distress. Replacing components of the index is fairly common. In 2015, 24 changes were made to the S&P 500's composition.
Well-known name gets dropped from the index; companies that were once industry leaders may fall on hard economic times or go bankrupt. There are several reasons why a company may get removed from the index, as can be seen by looking at the Index's history of dropped companies. Same is true for other indices like NASDAQ.

so what? If you buy into the index , you don't buy into these companies & the index performance won't be tied to these expunged companies
