<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2226959, member: 19463&quot;]Please review what this tells us.&nbsp; I see two points of interest.&nbsp; Progression was steady over the years with a flat spot 2008-2009 (most of us recall that period) and a fractional reversal in 2015 (probably well under the margin of error).&nbsp; Certainly what it does not take into account are our errors in judgment (I paid too much 20 years ago and am still &#039;under water&#039;) and personal circumstances (&quot;When I was a kid, Cokes were a nickel but I didn&#039;t have a nickel so I didn&#039;t have a Coke.&quot;).&nbsp;&nbsp; People in my age bracket often have trouble accepting the &#039;Big Picture&#039; of money (or anything, for that matter).&nbsp; When I was a kid the local grease seller had small burgers for 10 cents which was usually a Mercury dime.&nbsp; Today the same burger is on the dollar menu and sells for no more than the current price of a common Mercury dime.&nbsp; What have I learned from this?&nbsp; If I could go back in time 60 years and could bring back a pocket full of coins, I should bring ancients???[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
