How to read this chart
Market value can change as share prices move, firms list or firms leave the market.
What this does not show
This is not the whole economy, household wealth or the return earned by a saver.
- Listed firms are not the whole economy. Their market value is not a saver’s return.
- Some source values are estimates and can be revised.
- This stock keeps its source unit. A yearly mean rate is not a rate on the stock date.
- Some market records end years ago. Missing years are not filled in.

A chart can show a gap. It cannot prove what caused it. Read the evidence, the costs and the change we seek.
