The St. Petersberg Stock Exchange closed in 1914, reopened briefly for a short period in 1917, and then did not reopen thereafter.

But a comparison of it to the US between 1864 and 1914 is available:

That's my point. No one knew the St Petersberg stock exchange would close in 1914. The US stock exchange could close in 2044 and no one would be expecting it. 50 year predictions are unreliable.
