In 1920, the British pound was worth approximately 20 shillings, as the pound was still divided into shillings and pence at that time. The purchasing power of the pound in 1920 was significantly different from today, with estimates indicating that £1 then is equivalent to around £40 to £50 in today's money, depending on the specific measure of inflation used. This means that the pound had a considerable value, allowing for a range of goods and services that would cost much more today.
To estimate the value of £5,000 from 1920 in today's money, we can use historical inflation data. Adjusting for inflation, £5,000 in 1920 is roughly equivalent to around £200,000 to £250,000 today, depending on the specific inflation index used. This reflects the significant changes in purchasing power and economic conditions over the last century. For a precise figure, it's advisable to consult a reliable inflation calculator or historical financial data sources.
To calculate the equivalent value of $20 million in 1920 to 2009, we need to adjust for inflation over the years. Using the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as a measure, the inflation factor from 1920 to 2009 is approximately 13. Therefore, $20 million in 1920 would be equivalent to around $260 million in 2009. This calculation takes into account the changes in the purchasing power of the dollar over the 89-year period.

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: Historical value of money comparison site: http://www.measuringworth.com/uscompare/
