sales, and numbers. It's a lot to shift through, but heck, I'd rather have a lot of information than not enough, eh?

I've been sitting on the sidelines for some time, still a little nervous (not really 'nervous', just hesitant) in getting into the markets. I have been wanting to rebalance the majority of my stock holdings that I got from my Mom's estate (she passed), mainly because she was all over the map, had 5 shares of this, 10 shares of that, 2 shares of ABC, 1 share of DEF, etc. It's a mess, but the stock broker did say my Mom did a pretty good job of picking winners.

By the way, just a question, I wonder what the graph would look like, overall, if a steady value of a currency was used, that is, the value of a dollar back in (an example only here) 1960 was $1. In 1970, it was .85 cents, etc. I am just asking if inflation is taken into account w/ these graphs?

Take care and be safe!
