It all depends on your perspective.  The S&P 500 currently sits at 1209.  This is the same value the S&P held on each of the following dates:

April 26, 2010
September 16, 2008
November 2, 2005
March 3, 2005
August 3, 2001

If you bought $100,000 worth of an S&P 500 Index fund on the following dates, your account would currently be worth:

March 24, 2000 (height of Tech Bubble)  $79,200
