Need a Chart? Help!

Does anyone have access to some charting software or tools? I'm curious to see what the "50-year chart of after-tax profits as a percent of gross domestic product" chart is....

 

 

Buffett describes it in this article: http://archive.fortune.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2001/12/10/314691/index.htm

 

About 1/4 the way down. Paragraph 4 in the "Interest rates, Long-term government bonds" section.

Would FRED have those two data sets? Would a Blomberg machine?

FRED can do it.  I think the data sets you need are CP and GNP.  Tried to put a link to it here but can't figure out how to do it.

Attached is a pdf of the FRED graph.

If you look at these things often you should consider using FRED excel add-in:

JP Morgan maintains a data set that is updated quarterly.  It includes the graph you were looking for on slide 14.  There is a ton of data in the guide:
