Last year on 10/1/18, one year ago, the SPX was at 2924. Price is at 2940 now about a half percent gain over the last year; just call it flat year-on-year. If in September 2018, you decided to lay on a beach for a year and ignore the stock market, and today you decided to look at the laptop and check the S&P 500, you would see that the stock market was flat over the last year at the 2924-2940 area; you would roll over and go back to sleep thinking the market is unexciting.
Conversely, the S&P 500 is up +17.666% this year from the 2507 starting number. A tale of two tapes. Timing is everything in trading.
