Below is a chart we update from time to time showing the rolling 10-year price change for the S&P 500 going back to the start of the index in 1928. As shown, over the last ten years, the S&P 500 is up 64.8%. This might seem like a lot, but compared to past runs for the index, it barely shows up. Since 1937, the average rolling 10-year return for the S&P has been 103%, so the current 10-year gain of 64.8% is only two-thirds of the average.
The richest one percent of this country owns half our country's wealth, five trillion dollars. One third of that comes from hard work, two thirds comes from inheritance, interest on interest accumulating to widows and idiot sons and what I do, stock and real estate speculation. It's bullshit. You got ninety percent of the American public out there with little or no net worth. I create nothing. I own.
