The first graph shows the S&P 500 since 1990.

The dashed line is the closing price today.

The S&P 500 is up almost 35% from the bottom (235 points), and still off almost 42% from the peak (653 points below the max).

The second graph is from Doug Short of dshort.com (financial planner): "Four Bad Bears".

Note that the Great Depression crash is based on the DOW; the three others are for the S&P 500.
