You mean the two month stock market dip which has since not only recovered but the market following has heavily outperformed anything before 2020 and was fully abused by those in power who used their insider information on the COVID pandemic to trade just before the dip hit the markets? That stock market crash? I mean, I bet. Those 2 months are totally going to skew the numbers.

Those two months do skew the numbers. Why do you think they specifically picked March and not January as anybody else would?

You can defend your opinions without having to manipulate the numbers.

How do the numbers change if you start with January?

If I did my napkin math right (which is suspect) from January 2020 to December 2023 the Dow Jones had an ~33% increase.
