Best Answer

Wall Street was the place to be invested during the 1950s. From a starting point of around 2,020 the Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced by about 150 percent to over 5,000 by the end of the decade. In many ways the 1950s was a golden economic age for the United States. As World War II reached its conclusion many of Europe's cities and factories lay in ruins. The United States was the only major developed country with an intact industrial base and a huge pool of workers as G.I.s returned home after the war. The economy boomed throughout the 1950s with strong gains in both personal incomes and corporate profits which translated into higher stock prices.
