Henry Rollins

After costs, only the top 3% of managers produce a return that indicates they have sufficient skill to just cover their costs, which means that going forward, and despite extraordinary past returns, even the top performers are expected to be only as good as a low-cost passive index fund.

Whether in the military service, or in the vast mobilization of industrial resources which the war required, the Negro did his part precisely as did the white man.

Thus the American Negro established his right to the gratitude and appreciation which the Nation has been glad to accord.
Calvin Coolidge

David Hume
