				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>During the past several years I have posting charts showing annual stock market and bond market returns for various indices for the time periods from 1980-2006, 1980-2007, 1980-2008, 1980-2009, and 1980-2010. I have generated an updated chart to include returns from 2011 as shown below (click on the image for a larger view).</p>
<p>The chart shown below illustrates returns for small cap indices (Russell 2000, Russell 2000 Value, and Russell 2000 Growth), large cap indices (S&amp;P 500, S&amp;P/Citi 500 Value, and S&amp;P/Citi 500 Growth), a broad-based foreign stock index(Morgan Stanley Capital International Index for the developed stock markets of Europe, Australasia, and the Far East (&#8220;MSCI EAFE index&#8221;)), an index of bonds (Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index (&#8220;BC Agg.&#8221;))*, and the Nasdaq Composite Index.</p>
