Yes of course you’re right.


I didn’t pick the start date because it corresponds with the floating of the Aus Dollar a rather paradigm changing event on historical data in Aus. And I didn’t pick it because in calculating the CAPE it looks back 10 years and picks up both 1982 and 1974 data which is the two largest deviations on the price chart. And I didn’t pick it because the US Cape was coming off its lowest point since the Great depression. And I didn’t pick it because the dollar floating was the most meaningful start point in the data I have. And I didn’t pick it because I feel the modern data I have collected is a bit more robust than the historical. I didn’t put up over 30+years of history because I thought the real strength of the chart is its longitudinal comparison of modern history.


I wish you would have just shared the source of your historical Aus Cape Chart in your post – then I could stop collecting my data which I collect (and stupidly shared here) because I couldn’t find anything historical in relation to CAPE for AUS.


Looking forward to you putting up the data to back your assertion.
