This is a great visualisation - it's easy to understand, and punches you in the face with information that would be difficult to convey through words alone.

One example is that the first few years give no clue as to your long-run outcome. In fact, the first year may as well have been a coin flip. This shows what rubbish articles with a 1-year timeframe like this are: http://www.moneyweek.com/investment-advice/share-tips-moneyw...



A better visualization would IMO just show the adjusted market value and superimpose some exponential growth curves over that (1% in green, -1% in red, etc.). This confusingly takes 1D data and makes it 2D.
