Note that the "sure thing" exponential trend in blue broke spectacularly even with an r-squared of 0.992.
Overlay inflation on top of a best fit sigmoid curve function.
Rob Dawg,

Something about diminishing returns... I'll remember eventually.
Rob Dawg,
Diminishing returns you say.
Inflation Adjusted S&P 500 Index (October 2012 Dollars)

It does not include index component or weighting substitutions either. An important consideration for longer time series.
Rob Dawg,
