Fun graph. Shame that it is linear not log scale.
It is the upward climb in prices that is exhilarating if you're a home owner and the downward plunge that is slow, tedious and painful (more so if you're a buyer seeking bottom).

I wonder what it would look like with with the value of the dollar with respect to other world currencies factored in. Much of the last 6 years worth of stock increase has actuily been the deflation of the dollars worth not the increase of the stockmarket value.
Hey Paul, that's pretty amazing "animation" work you did.
