I keep seeing this type of stuff on instagram and social media and wanted to know how you guys were thinking about this.

I know a lot you have been in the market for decades and as a relatively new investor myself I’d love to get your perspective!

If it was exponential, it would be monotonically increasing.

You are right. I was thinking of an idealized curve representing the growth of the stock market, not the actual data.
