You should add in a way to account for number of years invested.

Obviously “graph both” is the winner, but people study this sort of chart to make an economic comparison of political parties.

The easiest way I can think of would be to just add an average inflation-adjusted return *per-year* for years invested under each party.

You failed to mention that if you included BOTH inflation & dividend reinvestments, Democrats would be ahead 10x. Actually, about 20x if you included Obama (DJI gained 54% since he took office).

I was just listening to Steny Hoyer (dem) quoting the NY Times statistics on C-span. I knew instinctively that there were many factors at play and did a google search. Thanks for doing the analysis. It is work like this that informs versus distorts. Thank you and god bless the internet.

The stock exchange is apparently a crucial part of our world. But can it be too important? It seems to be run by two attitudes, fear and greed. If we could invent a whole new machine to power the growth of the world — one whilst not having these thought patterns — what would it look like?
