@bobbyfijan Neighborhood retail is good, actually!

If you feel like you missed Bitcoin, Nvidia, or the gold bar moment at Costco — stop worrying. History has a pattern: in every era, more people lost money on the next big thing than made it. In 1800, the next big thing was canal building. Cities from Boston to Baltimore to Charleston all wanted their own Erie Canal. Investors lost nearly everything. Canals were left half-finished in the middle of forests when the money ran out. In 1859, it was shale oil. Investors lost it all by 1861. Then went broke again betting on shale in WWI. Then again in the 1970s. You don't know who's going to win the race to the future. But you can make a great living building the road there. The people who worked in the new industries — building canals, building the internet, building data centers — captured most of the gains. Not the investors chasing the dream. The builders working the ground. That's a strategy that works more reliably. History helps. Follow for more. #HistoryHelps #EconomicHistory #InvestingTips #JosephMoore

@AffordAnything preach.

Sometimes it takes 15+ years to become an "overnight" success.

What are we clicking? Are we doing it because negativity is incentivized? We discuss this on #FakeTheNation with historian and author Joseph S. Moore and comedian @mindyraf. This is an episode everyone needs because you might feel like we'll come out of this political cycle okay!

Congrats @awealthofcs for knocking me off #2 spot in #economic #history - well deserved. Glad to see readers finding this book. I've followed Ben's show for a long time. he is one of few commentators who understands how history (real history) informs investing. Highly recommend

One of the funniest myths in finance is that women investing is somehow “new.” People were saying that in the 1800s too. Women’s magazines had financial writers. Household manuals explained mortgage lending. Women owned nearly half of AT&T shares. And Abigail Adams quietly compounded wealth at returns that rival modern investing legends. Meanwhile, Teddy Roosevelt was reportedly so reckless with money that his wife took over the checkbook. History matters because it reminds us: women were never absent from finance. They were often just written out of the story. So if you’re a woman investing, building wealth, learning markets, or figuring things out as you go — you’re not entering a world women never belonged in. You’re continuing a very old tradition. #HistoryHelps #WomenInFinance #Leadership #Investing #FinancialLiteracy #EconomicHistory #BehavioralFinance #WealthBuilding

And nobody in America voted for railroads. Nobody in America voted for antibiotics. Nobody in America voted for semiconductors. This is because elections do not involve voting for technologies.

Every generation thinks they came too late. Too late for money. Too late for success. Too late for stability. Americans were saying this before the United States even existed. History helps because it reminds us: feeling behind is normal. And likely, what feels like failure is actually freedom. The freedom to choose. The freedom to pivot. The freedom to build a different kind of life. Turn off the doomers. Start building something. #HistoryHelps #EconomicHistory #PersonalFinance #MoneyPsychology #FinancialFreedom
