The years 2000-2009 were marked for shareholders of the major indices a roller coaster ride of dramatic setbacks such as the internet bubble, 9 / 11 and banking sub-prime crisis. The Dow Jones stood at the end of the 1999 level.
Massive declines shook the markets and as the real winners stood out investments in emerging markets, in commodities and in caps.
The decade was marked by a dollar crash and the consequent devaluation of U.S. investments.
