Dismal Science Takes Dim View of Dow 'Record'
Keywords:
Browning points out the record Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) average was not in 2007 but in 2000 when adjusted for inflation- on Jan 14, 2000. Since 1994 consumer prices measured by the Bureau of Labor Statistics have risen by 55%. Using 1994 dollars the March 5, 2013 closing DJIA average is at 9256, the 2007 high at 10194, and the record on Jan 14, 2000 at 10424, according to calculations made by Bespoke Investment Group. In inflation adjusted terms these calculations show the Dow barely making any progress in relation to the 2000 figure. When dividends and taxes are included, Browning says the inflation adjusted Dow is still not back up to the 2000 level. For retirees and sensible investors the real value of this money has to be taken account. Yale University professor, who founded the CAPE cyclically adjusted P/E, confirms what Browning says in an article in the WSJ March 10, 2013. There Shiller says that the inflation adjusted S&P 500 index has not made it to the 2000 level, so that investors have not made up for money lost in inflation in 13 years.

The future for Americans facing retirement in 2013 and beyond
05/27/2010
A U.S. Senate report shows a huge $6.6 trillion deficit in retirement savings in 2013, which comes to about $57,000 per American household. Only a small part of the population benefits from the gains on the stock market- most have suffered from the losses suffered following the 2008 financial crisis, depletion in savings from periods of unemployment, lower paying jobs, little or no interest on savings accounts, and additional stress from rising student debt and medical costs.

The inflation adjusted Dow Jones Industrial Averages (DJIA) average as the real number that retirees and investors ought to be looking at
05/27/2010
Looked at this way one gets a real check on how much the money is worth today. The DJIA is still below the level in 2000 according to the figures cited by Browning, even with the nomnal DJIA at about 14250 in early March 2013. This may be part of the reason why sentiment is subdued, in addition to dependence on the U.S. Federal Reserve policies.

The Dow Jones Industrial Averages above 14,000 in 2013 and the role of component stocks in the surge
03/05/2013
The DJIA is a price weighted average in comparison to the S&P 500 . This gives stocks such as IBM, Caterpillar, 3M, Chevron, a large role in the surge. IBM at $206 alone added about 1000 points out of a 7000 point surge and Caterpillar about 500 points. By comparison other stocks such as J&J have a smaller role. Stocks such as Bank of America that show a sharp climb make up only a small part of the surge.

Wall Street Journal 03/06/2013
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
