Wow, good chart. I wonder where it is now, with this big drop the last month?

Like many others, I really love that graphic. I think it is up the the level of that Professor Edward R. Tufte teaches in The Visual Display of Quantitative Information.

And trained as an undergrad physics major I also love dimensionless analysis -- that you get by using ratios where the units cancel out. Like Price/Book. I wonder about inflated book values, that in a deflation books not only go down, but the fraudulent part of them also goes down. While the lower orb -- below the box -- of 1931 and 1932 represent a pendulum overswing into disdain for real value, just because it is in a stock, I wonder what the final take on fraudulent book value will be?

And bad books mean bond defaults. I wonder how bond defaults are factored in the bond yield shown?

On the Deep Space chart the latest data point is Sept a year ago. What would be the point right now? I assume the pullback from deep space shown on the chart is due to Jazzman Greenspan and his Feds lowering of the prime rate.
