The tumultuous and history-making year of 2008 is represented with illustrations that include Barack Obama, newspaper headlines on the banking crisis and global recession, the Wall Street sign, and real estate foreclosure signs. Each year, a panel meets to select the images that would best represent the year. Suitable for framing, the poster measures 36" by 13 1/8."
The poster is a powerful representation of the seismic financial, political, and cultural changes that have shaped markets during the past 60 years and offers insight into the performance of the stock market over time. Despite the recent economic turmoil, THE 2009 STOCK MARKET HISTORY POSTER offers compelling visual evidence of the value of stocks over the long-term and puts today's market volatility in perspective.
"The mission of Financial Communications is to provide our clients with educational resources rich in data and insight in all formats and venues--from the most sophisticated digital products to the dramatic artwork of THE 2009 STOCK MARKET POSTER," says Larry McQuaid, General Manager of Financial Communications.
