Best Answer

NYSE is not a stock or even a measured average. Did you mean the Dow Jones Industrial Average? That is what people typically refer to if they say the market is up or down.

Dow Jones Industrial Average:

Jan 2, 1920: 108.76

Sept 29, 2011: 11,153.98

So, if you bought $100 into a Dow tracking fund (not sure they existed in 1920), it would be worth about $10,255. There are two caveats, first you'd owe capital gains when you sold it and second $100 in 1920 was a lot of money, According to the difference in the CPI, $100 in 1920 is worth roughly $1000 today:
