There is a pervasive prejudice in news reporting that transcends politics: negativity bias.

According to Ken Fisher, a member of the Forbes 400, there are only 10 ways to get rich, and one is the surest way to long-term wealth.

At the close of 2018, I took some time to reflect on the events of the year and, as I surveyed my portfolio, I had an epiphany.

According to Financial Times, an astonishing 99% of actively managed U.S. equity funds trailed the market over a 10-year period.

It should come as no surprise that investing in these companies has beaten the S&P 500 over many years.

Some argue that economic “winners” and economic “losers” share the same habits. That claim is false, with two exceptions.

The U.S. has accounted for 40% of the increase in global wealth since the financial crisis in 2008 – and 58% of the rise since 2013.
