It will be very interesting to see what Larry Culp can do. No question he is a fantastic leader, emerging from Danaher. But the task is not normal in size. :)

The peak valuation of companies worth essentially nothing today:
Nortel: $283 billion
America Online: $222 billion
WorldCom: $186 billion
Washington Mutual: $62 billion
If it has happened before, it must be possible.

Depends on the bet -- but across the entire game, around a 1% house edge. That means it'll just take a little longer before most of your money vanishes. :)

The casino house advantage in roulette is about 5%.
Take $10,000.
Bet it 30 times.
On average you’ll lose 80% of your money.

Today's five largest companies in the world, 20 years ago:
1. Amazon was a bubble.
2. Apple was in deep trouble.
3. Microsoft was under threat of being broken up.
4. Facebook didn't exist.
5. Google barely existed.
Same sorts of stories will be told 20 years from now.

You don't have to be an expert mathematician to beat the market or make a fortune investing over the long term. Qualitative analysis of leadership, product quality, customer satisfaction, company culture et al. is just as important to winning with stocks.

It's likely that less than 20% of all public companies will drive the vast majority of stock-market returns over the next 10-20 years.

Dollar-cost average for your entire life, and you'll beat almost everyone who doesn't. And you'll end up with more money than you'll ever need.
