96 out of every 100 US companies never made their investors any money. A new study from Arizona State tracked every stock listed on US markets from 1926 to 2025. That is 29,754 stocks over 100 years. The market created $90.96 trillion in that time. All of it came from just 1,082 companies. The other 27,999 gave investors nothing. Most stocks lose money. Only 48% of stocks made any money at all. Only 41% beat a savings account. 59% of companies lost money for shareholders. The median stock lost 6.87%. But the average stock returned 30,621%. That gap is the whole story. A few enormous winners pull the average up while most stocks bleed. So who were the winners? • Apple: $5.02 trillion • Nvidia: $4.58 trillion • Microsoft: $4.03 trillion • Alphabet: $3.57 trillion • Amazon: $2.27 trillion These are not market caps. This is total wealth created for shareholders since the company listed, measured against what that money would have earned sitting in Treasury bills. Apple and Nvidia alone made 10.6% of all the wealth the US market has created since 1926. The same researcher ran this study in 2018 with data through 2016. Back then it took 89 companies to make up half of all the wealth ever created. Nine years later, it takes only 46. In the 90 years up to 2016, the top 30 companies made 31% of all the wealth. In the nine years since, the top 30 made 61%. Nvidia by itself made 9.32% of everything created since 2017. Concentration doubled in nine years. And those nine years are exactly the years the AI trade took over the market. The typical company got worse at the same time. In the first six decades of the study, the median stock returned 63.6% per decade. In the last four decades, it dropped to 5.8%. The market kept going up. Most companies stopped going up with it. People keep saying the S&P is being carried by a handful of AI stocks, as if this is something new. It is not. The market has always run on a tiny number of winners. What changed is how few of them there are now.

To spite Peter, we'll buy Bitcoin instead of gold!

@PeterSchiff To spite Peter, we'll buy Bitcoin instead of gold!

All of the price forecasts for Bitcoin assume demand rises. But why should it? Most people who own Bitcoin are losing money. When investors in Bitcoin get tired of losing money demand for Bitcoin should decline. If Bitcoin is going down, why would people who don't own it buy any?

Stop taking financial advice from anonymous retards accounts on X that may have little skin in the game and don’t own any Bitcoin to begin with. At $600 per month and a 21% CAGR, Bitcoin has the potential to build genuine generational wealth over time. $10M–$20M: Strong generational wealth. Multiple generations can benefit if the assets are well managed. Most people underestimate what disciplined compounding can do over 20-30 years.

BUY BITCOIN SIGN TURNS 9 YEARS OLD Nine years ago today, on July 12, 2017, then-22-year-old intern Christian Langalis slipped into the audience behind Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen during her semiannual testimony before Congress and held up a handwritten sign reading just two words: “Buy Bitcoin.” The sign appeared on live television for only a few seconds before security eventually escorted Langalis from the hearing. He later said he never expected anyone to notice, believing he would simply save a screenshot from the broadcast as a personal keepsake. His phone had died before the hearing began, so he didn’t realize the stunt had gone viral until after he left. Langalis later explained he attended the hearing while working at a macro hedge fund and had grown tired of what he described as “Fed worship.” As a libertarian influenced by Bitcoin’s cypherpunk roots, he said the sign reflected his broader belief that central banking and state-controlled money should be challenged. He kept the original sign in a sock drawer for years before auctioning at PubKey in New York in April 2024. A pseudonymous bidder purchased the piece of Bitcoin history for 16 BTC, worth more than $1 million at the time.

The charts show ETH/BTC peaking above 0.11 in 2017, near 0.08 in 2021, then trending down to the current 0.0285. The table gives implied ETH values using historical ratios like the 8-year average of 0.0479. Predictions are speculative and not financial advice. By 2030 I see ETH/BTC recovering toward 0.05-0.07 with BTC at $150k-400k, putting ETH around $8k-28k. By 2035, ratio 0.06-0.09 and BTC $300k-1M+ points to ETH $18k-90k, with base cases near $15k-40k using the chart averages and gradual ecosystem growth. Crypto remains highly volatile.
