The scale for value of investment increases by factors of 10, with values marked from 10 to 10,000,000. Six plots are shown. Each begins at $100 in 1925, and they rise to the following values in 2015:
• small stocks = $5,792,572
• S and P 500 = $664,567
• world portfolio = $248,352
• corporate bonds = $22,366
• treasury bills = $2,063
• C P I = $1,378
In general, the plots for small stocks, the S and P 500, and the world portfolio exhibit similar volatility over time, with numerous crests and troughs. Likewise, the plots for corporate bonds, Treasury bills, and C P I exhibit similar volatility over time, with much smoother curves that rise less steeply. The plot for C P I initially falls below the plot for Treasury bills, but the two plots approach the same value after 1945, and remain close until 1979 to 1981. At that time, due to inflation, Treasury bill yields peak at 15%, making that plot rise with greater steepness than the plot for C P I. The following table provides other dates or ranges of dates noted on the graph, with their corresponding changes in the plots for small stocks and for the S and P 500:
Date Change in small stocks Change in S and P 500
1928 to 1932 negative 92% negative 84%
1937 to 1938 negative 72% negative 50%
1968 to 1974 negative 63% negative 37%
1987 negative 34% negative 30%
2000 to 2002 negative 26% negative 45%
2007 to 2009 negative 67% negative 51%

A table displays stock price data for Barrick Gold Corporation at the start and end of the year. The Table has 3 Rows and 4 columns. The columns have the following headings from left to right. Current Stock Price, dollars, Possible Stock Price in one year, dollars, Possible Return, R, Probability, P R. The Row entries are as follows. Row 1. 100, 140, 40 percent, 0.25. Row 2. 100, 110, 10 percent, 0.50. Row 3. 100, 80, Negative 20 percent, 0.25.
The data depicted is as follows:
AMC:
• Return, minus 0.25; Probability, 50 percent
• Return, 0.45; Probability, 50 percent
BFI:
• Return, minus 0.20; Probability, 25 percent
• Return, 0.10; Probability, 50 percent
• Return, 0.40; Probability, 25 percent
Four graphs plot frequency in number of years versus ranges of annual returns in percentage rates. Because bars are only plotted for the ranges of annual return percentage that occur with a frequency greater than zero, there are only 3 bars plotted for 1 month Treasury bills, but there are 8 plots for A A A corporate bonds, 18 plots for the S and P 500, and 28 plots for small stocks. As the distributions widen, the highest plots shrink. The plot with the highest frequency in each distribution is as follows. 1 month T bills = (0 to 5%, 65 years). A A A corporate bonds, (0 to 5%, 36.5 years). S and P 500, (16 to 20%, 10 years). Small stocks, (negative 5 to negative 10%, 8 years).All values estimated.
The scatterplot plots historical average return versus historical volatility, or standard deviation, in percentage. Points are plotted at the following coordinates.
• treasury bill. (4, 4)
• corporate bonds. (6, 6)
• world portfolio. (18, 10.5)
• S and P 500. (20, 12.5)
• mid cap stocks. (27, 15)
• small stocks. (38, 18)
A dotted line rises from (0, 2.5) to (45, 25), passing slightly below corporate bonds and slightly above or through the other points. It is noted that the historic excess return of the S and P 500 is 8.5% greater than that of T bills, but all other values are estimated.
figure 10.7, with the addition of shaded data points in a dense cloud below the dotted line, which represent stocks of one of three types: stocks 1 to 50, stocks 51 to 400, and stocks 401 to 500. This new cloud of data points rises approximately parallel to the dotted line, and below it, between approximate points (25, 7.5) and (45, 15).
The scale for stocks increases by factors of 10, with values marked at 1, 10, 100, and 1000. The plot for type S firms extends horizontally from (1, 30) to (1000, 30). The plot for type I firms falls with decreasing steepness from (1, 30) through (10, 10) and (100, 3.5) to (1000, 1.5). The plot for typical firms falls with decreasing steepness from (1, 30) through (10, 17.5) and (100, 15.5) to (1000, 15.25). All values are estimated.
