3.0 out of 5 stars
Didn't Contain Significant Market Statistics, January 13, 1998
This review is from: Wall Street Journal Almanac 1998 (Serial) (Paperback)
I needed to know the percentage return of the Dow Industrial Index, the S&P 500 index and a few other indices for the last 10 years. Fortunately, I thought, I had just received the Wall Street Journal Almanac for Christmas. Unbelievably, this information is not in the WSJ Almanac! The value of the Dow and other indices are listed, but to get the yearly percentage gains, you have to do the math an figure it out for yourself. And, the information to calculate the effect of reinvested dividends for these indexes is also not given. This was quite a disappointment for me. I can't imagine what the editors had in mind when they chose to omit this commonly used information.
