[Sunday Update] Christmas greetings
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate Christmas. Here is this week's table. I have added a couple of companies and put a long-term growth number instead of the two previous measures. It measures the long-term average growth in dividends of each company.

"The miracle of compounding returns is overwhelmed by the tyranny of compounding costs."
If, for one second, we believe traditional active management adds value, its benefit is overshadowed by its cost. John Bogle sums this up with his famous quote above.

Forecasting Folly
"There are 60,000 economists in the U.S., many of them employed full-time trying to forecast recessions and interest rates, and if they could do it successfully twice in a row, they'd all be millionaires by now...as far as I know, most of them are still gainfully employed, which ought to tell us something."
