However, Andrew Smithers argues that using 1900 as a starting date is misleading because the years immediately before 1900 were very lean. From 1871 to 1900 in the U.S. the real return for equities was only 3.02% per annum. Inflation for those years was minus 1.57 %, which means equity had a nominal return of a mere 1.45 % annually.
