These simple price histories are VERY instructive, but they are RARELY shown.

Both up to date:

STRAIGHTFORWARD: the main enabler of sizable asset price bubbles (very harmful) is keeping the real price histories out of sight.
The plotted data for Real Homes and Real Dow are available in these tables:

I'll buy that chart. The thing is the tech growth was fueled by an expensive tech industry with big profits trading large volume, which was replaced with the housing market moving large volumes of cash, and creating bank profits by being creative with all of the finances moving around from bank to bank. Since the 2007 crash, we've replaced all of that big ticket stuff with $99 smart phones, $5.00 sandwiches and $199 tablets. You just can't sell enough crap to be back at the levels we were when the GDP was based on selling $2,000 computers or $450,000 homes.

Thanks CS, good points ... My basic view is that keeping these compelling real price histories out of sight is prima facie villainy. Bespoken is the coming and going of irrationality as dominating USA history. Here are 3 agreeing Fed Chair declaratives:

NOTABLE! Bernanke discriminated: nominal vs. real Dow! Today, at news conference, voluntarily -- UNIQUELY, as I ever recall!
