A member of the AIM group over on i-Hub posted this S&P History since 1871 for everyone's enjoyment. The S&P 500 equivalent was synthesized using inflation data to keep it honest as far as Inflation goes. It's a rather interesting bit of work.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
AIM spreadsheet For S&P500 since 1871 data. AIM's the real (after inflation) S&P500 price

Doesn't display well within google-spreadsheet (online), but displays fine when downloaded as a Excel .xlsx and viewed locally (at least when using LibreOffice)

Includes data/results when you run that as a paper AIM and trade once/year to realign stock/cash (T-Bills) actual weightings to the AIM indicated prior year end AIM %CASH level. Which is like trading all of the years AIM trades, in a single combined trade. Which also means you can tie cash up for a year at a time (potentially better interest rates)













Click on the Spreadsheet to see the entire month by month history. Note there were far more months of no activity than there were months of trades. This means AIM takes considerable patience. His example shows $2000 growing to $64,000 over this time frame. Also note the fairly long times that AIM was out of cash and stalled on the Buy side. AIM can't run out of Shares, but AIM CAN run out of cash. This makes the Cash side more "precious" than the stock side since it can be depleted.

Starting with this page, there's deeper explanation of how Clive created this history.
