I think that is a poor comparison as the FTSE peaked in late 1999 around 6800 due to the tech bubble.One notable stat is that the FTSE 100 is still below the level it was at in 1999. And for the financial geeks out there, in real terms (adjusting for inflation), it is at least 50% lower...
It was averaging around 4500 until the internet craze ( which was short lived) when it burst in March 2000.
It fell back to 3100 a year later. Anyone who invested in the FTSE with regular instalments will have at least doubled their money. Dividends will also add to investment too.
