Jason, the blog you are referencing is mine. The historical data of the Wilshire 5000 can be found at their website: http://web.wilshire.com/Indexe…..alculator/

You must register to get the data. Registration is free. The site is a bit tricky to navigate but if you look around, you'll find the historical data going back to 1970 which is plenty long enough to conduct your research.

The data for the GNP can be found at the St. Louis Federal Reserve: http://research.stlouisfed.org…..gories/106

I remember reading an interview of Warren Buffett where he mentions that the ratio of equity prices to U.S. GNP gives you a reasonable view of how pricey the markets are (he said a ratio <80% is a good price, if memory serves). I also read some of this on Value Investor's blog. Could anyone point me to historical data for the Wilshire 5000 index? I tried searching this up but the closest I got was the Yahoo Finance data and that only went back for ~3 years.

 

Would greatly appreciate it, as I would like to make something like this for myself:
