Your "mother's IRA" could not have had AAPL in 1974. Apple didn't exist in 1974! The company didn't start trading until 1980. Also, ahem, there...
You're mistaken. Stock survivorship bias is embedded in most studies from Cowles to Siegel. The Index 'drops' stocks all the time: this skews...
The stock market isn't ONLY winners, though. It's the Enrons, the Worldcomms, the Pets.coms and the Lehman Bros. (Remember that firm? How quickly...
When all else fails: 1) Pick winners, ignore losers. Omit 90% of the stock market? Survivorship bias will juice returns ~2% per annum in the 19th...
Scovill wasn't formed as a joint stock company until 1850. Abel Porter Co. (1802) had partner shares, but I cannot find valuations; Scovill was an...
Du Pont de Nemours, Père et Fils et Cie existed, yes, but a single share cost $2,000. in gold. There were just 18 shares, six shareholders only...

I'm well aware we are guests here. My contribution was not political, and well within Terms. As you can see from dozens of (not "some") prior...
Judging by the poll results and your reply, there was a lot of (mis)interpretation here. Monster boxes are certainly excluded, and the emphasis...

We're talking about bullion, not gas-cigarettes-clothing. Correct? My "opinion" on taxes is irrelevant; so is yours. Ditto, sly evasion. What...
Wild guessing is basically crazy talk. The total range of LBMA forecasts is from $10. - 22. Only 3 ('optimists') predict a range high of $22.,...
