30 Years of Time Magazine Covers and The Stock Market

feature photo

I stumbled upon a presentation floating around on the internet which looks at the past 30 years of Time Magazine covers as they relate to the stock markets. Essentially, one theme is that once the market meltdowns make the front page it’s not a bad time to get back into the equity markets - such is the nature of investor and media psychology. The presentation notes the stock market index level at time of the magazine cover appearance and then shows the subsequent 10 year returns following that.

If anyone knows who put this together, please let me know so that I may give him/her credit (or take it down if they request.) In the meantime, click here to download the file (PDF document).
