Interesting Visualization Charts Changes in S&P Market Index

December 11th, 2008

I saw this great data visualization at Boing Boing.

S&P Percent Change from 1825

The graphic illustrates percent change in S&P Market Index, by year, going back to 1825. I like the simplicity and clear quantification across both percent change and time.

You’ll see 2008 you look to the far left (-50% change – worse since 1931). Yes, this has been a bad year!
