S&P 500 - Monthly (non log)

Chart Description

This chart is the same as the S&P 500 - Monthly except that the vertical axis is not a log scale. This is the way the data is often displayed, but displaying it this way dramatically visually minimizes percentage changes in the past and dramatically magnifies more recent percentage changes.
