When a Lighting Engineer Walks Into Wall Street
What does a single share of Berkshire Hathaway worth over $400,000 tell us about wealth creation? That patient, informed investors who understand the market's fundamentals can transform modest investments into extraordinary fortunes. Yet for most Americans, Wall Street remains a bewildering maze of cryptic symbols and seemingly irrational price swings. The gap isn't intelligence-it's education. Strip away the jargon, and the stock market reveals itself as a surprisingly logical system built on timeless principles: ownership, value, and human psychology. Wall Street began 400 years ago as a literal wall-Dutch settlers built it to contain livestock and exclude Native Americans from their trading post. That defensive barrier evolved into a commercial street connecting river docks, then into the world's financial nerve center. Today, "Wall Street" means far more than a physical location. It's an ecosystem where capital flows from those who have it to those who need it, with everyone taking a cut along the way. In 1792, twenty-four merchants signed the Buttonwood Agreement under a tree, pledging to trade only among themselves-the original NYSE members. By 1952, fewer than 10 million Americans owned stocks. Today, 84 million do, and institutional investors control nearly 60% of all equities, worth roughly $7 trillion. The real question isn't whether you're smart enough to invest. It's whether you're willing to learn the language.
