Very neat! It's easy to be discouraged seeing how much my investments have fallen in recent months. But this graph makes it seem like the stock market could still be on track, producing slow and steady gains in the long term, when we consider that the crazy bull market of the last couple of years was an aberration. (No guarantees about where the stock market goes from here, of course.)

Now, if only I had a crystal ball, or at least was more in tune with the world of finance so I could have ridden the ups and downs more effectively. ;)
