What fuckwit made this graph? The highest, largest positive return should be on top, e.g. the pink. Contradictorily, the returns per annum is sorted like this with the top return of stocks being on top.

Cash is not accurate- unlike another asset that can then be redeemed or sold for an increasing amount of money/cash, the $1,500 actually represents the devaluation of cash/fiat over that time if $1,500 is what 2026 cash is worth compared to 1965. If "cash" was actually a bank savings account rate or something, fair enough I guess but it should be labeled as such.
