Charts Of Equities’ Performance Since March 9, 2009 And January 1, 1980 – October 3, 2013 Update

In the March 9, 2012 post ("Charts of Equities’ Performance Since March 9, 2009 And January 1, 1980") I highlighted two charts for reference purposes.

Below are those two charts, updated through yesterday’s closing price.

The first is a daily chart of the S&P500 (shown in green), as well as five prominent (AAPL, IBM, WFM, SBUX, CAT) individual stocks, since 2005.  There is a blue vertical line that is very close to the March 6, 2009 low.  As one can see, both the S&P500 performance, as well as many stocks including the five shown, have performed strongly since the March 6, 2009 low:

This next chart shows, on a monthly LOG basis, the S&P500 since 1980.  I find this chart notable as it provides an interesting long-term perspective on the S&P500′s performance.  The 20, 50, and 200-month moving averages are shown in blue, red, and green lines, respectively:
