The approximately 25,300 companies that issued stocks appearing in the CRSP
common stock database since 1926 are collectively responsible for lifetime
shareholder wealth creation of nearly $35 trillion.

However, just five firms (Exxon Mobile, Apple, Microsoft, General Electric, and
International Business Machines) account for 10% of the total wealth creation.
The 90 topperforming companies, slightly more than one-third of 1% of the
companies that have listed common stock, collectively account for over half of
the wealth creation. The 1,092 topperforming companies, slightly more than 4%
of the total, account for all of the net wealth creation.

Of all monthly common stock returns contained in the CRSP database from 1926
to 2016, only 47.8% are larger than the one-month Treasury rate in the same
month.

When focusing on stocks’full lifetimes, just 42.6% of common stocks, slightly
less than three out of seven, have a buy-and-hold return (inclusive of
reinvested dividends) that exceeds the return to holding one-month Treasury
bills over the matched horizon.

看哪，這論證是極好的：蘇格拉底是人，凡造物都難免要朽壞，所以末了我們知道，蘇格
拉底總要落到死裡面了。從亞里士多德以來的每一個邏輯學家，沒有一個不歡喜這個論證
的。亞里士多德明白的告訴了我們論證形式的道理，因了這個緣故，我們便尊他為邏輯學
的王。
