I'd be curious to see the dollar cost averaged data going back ten years, i.e. start in 1998, invest X$/mo (as in a 401(k) or IRA), increase the amount for raises and higher deposits allowed, and reinvest dividends. That data doesn't seem to be too easy to gather, most stats will show point to point 10 yr return. But I think there's some value in the averaged method as well.
