1979 may have been a bubble, but with a more honest and revealing chart, today's rise is MUCH different (pay attention to the slopes of the rises then and now):

Note that the last 10 years shows a solid average of 15% per year annual gain, subject to fluctuations from a generally straight rise.

Query --
The chart is a logarithmic chart. Doesn't it need to be arithmetic, in order to display properly the catenary rise of a bubble curve?
Log scales tend to flatten out rising charts, thus masking unstable rises.
Comment? Discussion?
