JZX Composite — 2008 to 2026
Every company on today's board, indexed to its own first price (=100) and weighted by importance — the whole history on one scale, so a cheap stock's crash counts as much as an expensive one's rally. Green: whole board. Blue: JZLE (life). Red: JZBE (body).

Every month that left words behind, replayed as an earnings call on a life — 75 market chronicles (2008–2015), then the archive's notes carry the story on. Each chronicle is shown complete, with every note the month left. The gold cursor on the small chart is where you are in the life — click anywhere on it to travel. The numbers are real; the market is a person.
The constellation — every note, placed where it was spoken
All the notes of the archive as one sky: left to right is time, up and down is the move the note witnessed — green rising, red falling. The bigger the star, the harder the move. Click a star to read it.
By sector (importance-weighted value of current board) — balance score 77/100: how evenly life's value is spread; 100 = perfectly even, 0 = one thing is everything
Sector journeys — each part of life on its own path
The eight heaviest sectors, each indexed to its own beginning (=100). Where the lines diverge, life changed its mind about what matters.
The story in years
How each year of life closed against the year before.
When life trades up
Average composite move per calendar month, across all 18.4 years — life's seasons.
Exterior vs interior — the value displacement
The world prices what it produces; the JZX prices what it is like to be alive. Both markets below start at 100 in 2008 — the S&P 500 measuring the exterior economy, the JZX Composite measuring one human interior: experiences, intellect, sexuality, health, emotion. Year over year the two barely speak: correlation +0.06 — a life's value obeys its own law. Read the essay on value displacement →
Falls & recoveries — life underwater
How far below its own best life traded, every month. Zero is the surface — a new all-time high; everything below is time spent climbing back.
The hardest fall: from a peak of 1,820.17 in 2010-01 down −86.8% to 240.85 in 2021-04. That peak has not been regained yet.
Longest climb: 11 months up in a row
(2022-09 → 2023-08).
Longest slide: 7 months down in a row
(2015-01 → 2015-08).

How much of life is rising
Each month: of the values that were re-priced, the share that rose. Above the 50 line, most of life was getting better — whatever the composite said.
The witnessing
The act of valuation itself — how many prices were set each month since 2008. A portrait of the attention a life pays to itself.
The web — a life as a node system
Everything the exchange knows, drawn as one organism. At the centre, the JZX core; around it, a hub for every sector of life; hanging from each hub, every listed value. A node's size is its importance; filled green means it trades above its opening price, hollow red means below. The bright threads between values are real co-movements measured over the whole history — green: the two rise and fall together; red, dashed: one rises when the other falls.
