Where do you dig these numbers up from please, my search skills on Bigcharts do not seem to have turned them up - I know gold is 38099902, thanks to Nickoo, but I would really like silver please?? Also au:xao works fine on Bigcharts but I have been unable to dig up the Nikkei.

The century chart (or similar) to which redabyss is referring to can be viewed in pdf format at

They have recently updated this and it is easier to see than the previous one. I don't think 1000 is likely based as the shift I feel sure is due to dividend imputation, an event conveniently left off the chart but which for most people theoretically doubled the value of all fully franked share dividends - but this factor seemed to get lost in the great bull run 1975 - 1987. I waited for ages for the second leg of the 1987 crash and it was years before I woke up to why it never happened.

So the XAO can hit bottom trend line at 2200 if it happens soon otherwise it can hit it by going sideways for a few years more or just redraw the lines slightly leaving out the first half of the century and the 1975 aberration and the whole thing can be deferred - after all at year 2005 all around 4000 - 4500 is the top of the current not quite so long term trend channel in place since 1990.

So take your pick
