Business books are better than books about business. Books about business tell clean stories, often from an outsider's perspective, on why things came to be. Books about business share anecdotes and quotes that are jammed into chapters like sardines, often failing to point out all the what ifs. The what ifs are the most interesting part of business.

It's October 2009. You've been putting money into your 401(k) for almost ten years. 118 months to be exact. The amount of money in your account is less than the contributions you've made.

Barry and I sat down with Ed Yardeni of Yardeni Research to bring some data to the buyback conversation. This was a nice counter to the discussion we had earlier this week with Ben Hunt.

According to a Deloitte article, in 2012, 500 of the highest paid executives received an average remuneration of $24.4 million, of which 52 percent was in the form of stock options and a further 26 percent was in the form of stock rewards. I believe that executive compensation is out of control. In his latest post, Ben Hunt wrote "Jamie Dimon owns more than 7.8 million shares of JP Morgan, worth more than $1 billion.

That permanently high plateau would not be seen again until the winter of 1954.

The best performing 4% of stocks were responsible for all of the wealth created in the stock market from 1926 through 2018.
