Risk as measured by increased volatility increases slightly the probability of the investor losing money in the stock market. However, the probability of success increases dramatically due to the difference between a relatively unchanged stock intrinsic value and market price.

@munster_gene @tim_cook He really is one of the most successful CEOs in the history of corporate America. W. Buffett has said that it is the best managed company of Berkshire's Holdings.

Retail investors are starting to worry, according to Ivan Cosovic, the managing director of Breakout Point, a market data firm that tracks investor sentiment. Especially bearish retail investors see the three I.P.O.s as marking “the actual top” of the stock market, he told DealBook.

Who would have predicted that when the minimum wage was artificially raised to $15+/hour, nobody would want to hire unskilled teenagers for that price?

[John B. Case @JohnBCase]

@caroljsroth Greater skills command greater wages. You can't make this stuff up.

@jimcramer I own $AAPL. It is my largest holding. In the past week, I bought an IMac which I am using to manage speakers for the Kiwanis Club of Las Vegas. Their products are fantastic. Their moat is wide.

I just gave @tim_cook a Standing O as he closed out his
last Apple event.

Forget today’s noise about Siri AI timing.

For 15 years, Cook has crushed it for investors and consumers alike.

@caroljsroth Having come of age in the Vietnam Era, I can say that if you fight a war without raising taxes you will stagflation. And it lasts a very long time.

@Codie_Sanchez I would say that nobody should ever take on debt for a wedding and that the costs should be scrutinized and evaluated, but if you have the money, want to celebrate an important life milestone and understand the tradeoffs in doing so, go for it. 🎉🍾

[John B. Case @JohnBCase]

@caroljsroth @Codie_Sanchez We watched Father of the Bride with Steve Martin and Diane Keaton. It’s a comedy that covers many important wedding issues. In no way would I have Swans at my daughter’s wedding on the salary of a poor humble geotechnical engineer!

“We now observe preparation gaps so severe that instructors must reteach middle-school mathematics while simultaneously teaching the material students need for sciences, engineering, economics, and other quantitatively demanding fields”

@GunjanJS Having received an Engineering Education 54 years ago, I'm appalled at how public schools have degraded teaching science and mathematics.

“I insist on a lot of time being spent, almost every day, to just sit and think. That is very uncommon in American business. I read and think. So I do more reading and thinking, and make less impulse decisions than most people in business.”

Warren Buffett: "Things are always uncertain in the short term. What really is certain is that things that worked over time will continue to work over time."

"The next day is always uncertain. The next hour is always uncertain. [But] the longer term is pretty darn certain."
