GDP

Log scale version of yesterday’s Real Growth of US GDP graph. If you look at the Long-term Stock Growth graph, the slope of the trendline looks similar to the US GDP trendline. However, when you calculate their annualized growth rate from 1871-2009 you get:

Annualized Real Stocks Price Growth    1.95%
Annualized Real GDP Growth                  3.47%
