HOW CLOSELY WILL HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF?
This chart shows the Dow Jones Stock Market averages as of November 11 of each year. This chart is really centered around the 1930 and 2008 points of time, which are clearly highlighted. The scales on the left and right are proportional as to the 1930 and 2008 points, so the comparison is exacly fair numerically. The chart shows the Dow average from the 20 years prior 1930, and 2008, and the 9 years following 1930. It is ready to show the 9 years following 2008, which would be through 2017. Once this chart is completed about a decade from now, we will know how closely history has repeated itself with respect to the Dow Jones Stock Market.
If history repeats itself almost exactly from here forward, the Dow average will be roughly 5,300 in late 2009, and it will be roughly 3,500 in late 2010. Then it will be in the 4,000 to 5,000 range during 2011 and 2012 before rising close to 7,000 by late 2013. In roughly 2014, there would be an intra-depression peak of roughly 9,000, followed by three years: 2015, 2016, and 2017, played out in the 6,000 to 8,000 range.
Of course, even if history is basically repeating itself economically, it would be basically bizarre if the 2008-2017 stock market plays out in almost exactly the way the 1930-1939 stock market did. But we shall see.
