PP historical performance chart

[FarmerD]

A few years ago someone (Pretty sure it was melveyR) provided a neat chart showing PP returns on a log scale with a straight line 4.5% real return as the reference line.  I'd really like to see the same chart updated through 2013 returns.  I'd imagine with last years down performance the pp will be below the 4.5% real return line. 

Anyone have an updated chart (or give me MelveyR's website address so I could ask him).

You can do it with http://www.peaktotrough.com/hbpp.cgi and excel

That gives you total return over a period but it's not on log paper nor does it have it on a log scale.  If I had more time I could screw around with excel and load in the data but I'm too stacked up with things to do.

Log paper?  Excel knows how to make logarithmic axes, yo

Melveyr's charts appear to match closely with my data as well:

I get a real CAGR of 4.7% and a STDEV of 7.7% (based on monthly real returns).
