Just When Will Investors Get Their Money Back?

WordPress’s Tag Surfer feature I’m finding very handy.  This morning it served up an interesting post from The Guru Investor on the myth that it took it took investors 25 years to recoup their investment after the great crash of 1929.

Here’s a snippit, but do check it out:

“While many have cited the fact that the Dow Jones Industrial Average took 25 years to get back to its pre-Great-Depression highs as reason to worry that the coming market recovery could take a upwards of 10 or even 20 years, Hulbert says the 25-year Depression recovery figure is misleading for a number of reasons. In reality, he says, it took only four-and-a-half years after the Depression bottom for investors to recapture their losses.”
