ParticipantNote that chart is a logarithmic scale. Chart also does not account for dividend returns.
I wish I was alive during the depression. I would have bought some stocksThat kind of depends on how old you were at the time. According to that chart, you would have been in the red from 1929 to 1955, not even accounting for inflation. Had you been 50 years old at the 1929 peak, you still wouldn’t have gotten your money back by the time you were 76 years old.

ParticipantLooks like they succeeded in getting this thing out after all. They had a little scare in February of this year, when the World Health Organization caught them distributing flu “vaccine” that contained live bird flu virus organisms, but that didn’t stop them.
Of course this is terrible news for the world, but great news for certain groups of well-connected individuals with a stake in Gilead Pharmaceuticals, the makers of Tamiflu.
So yes, be VERY AFRAID of what your TV is telling you! Better get out there and stock up on some Tamiflu! Get some duct tape and plastic sheeting while you’re at it.

ParticipantWhat hapeended to those people who moved to California in, say 1935 ?
I found this article that touches on that topic. Here’s an excerpt:
As World War II wore on, the state of the economy, both in California and across the nation, improved dramatically as the defense industry geared up to meet the needs of the war effort. Many of the migrants went off to fight in the war. Those who were left behind took advantage of the job opportunities that had become available in West Coast shipyards and defense plants. As a result of this more stable lifestyle, numerous Dust Bowl refugees put down new roots in California soil, where their descendants reside to this day.
I definitely recommend reading “The Grapes of Wrath” for a full understanding of the experience. Steinbeck spent a lot of time with migrant workers, and with this novel tried to tell their side of the story.
Another great novel that seems appropriate these days is “The Great Gatsby”. Whenever I see some 30-something real estate tycoon driving his Bentley I am always reminded of the Jay Gatsby character…
