Dow 40,000

May 19, 2024May 18, 2024

Well, it took 8 years longer than the author of Dow 40,000 predicted in 1999 . . . but sure enough, Friday: Dow closes above 40,000 for first time ever.

Trump, by contrast, predicted — over and over — that if we elected Joe in 2020, we’d “have a crash like you’ve never seen before.”



And since we’re mixing stocks and politics, I’d remind you that if you’d sold your Berkshire Hathaway at $126,183 a share when Warren Buffett was 82 — the age Joe will be when he wins in November — you would have left an awful lot on the table.

BRKA shares closed at $629,375 Friday.

Warren is 93.

It’s not calisthenics.

It’s judgement — and assembling a great young team beneath you to do most of the work.

Quote of the Day

"We've forgotten all the sacrifices that the people who've gone before us made to give us this wonderful life that we have. We accept it; we take it for granted; we think it's our birthright. The facts are, it's precious, it's fragile -- it can disappear."

Ross Perot, 1988
