Many people still don't truly understand: why the most hardcore innovations in the world have almost all gone to the United States, and why the U.S. stock market has been rising for over a hundred years, growing stronger and stronger.
Most people's understanding stops at "American companies are impressive" and "American technology is strong"—this surface-level perception misses the fundamental reason, which is the system itself. To be precise, it is a super moat that no other country has and cannot replicate: the global talent siphoning ability.
In other countries, the upper limit of the talent pool is their own population; but the U.S. has directly expanded the talent pool to the global population. Others are picking the smartest people locally, while the U.S. is selecting the smartest people globally.
This gap is structural and overwhelming.
Why do the world's geniuses ultimately flow to the U.S.? Because there exists the strongest research system, the densest top universities, the most mature entrepreneurial environment, the most ruthless incentive mechanisms, the most tolerant trial-and-error soil, and the deepest capital markets. Simply put, in the U.S., "smartness" can quickly be transformed into "results," and these results can be immediately capitalized.
Thus, the U.S. has formed a completely virtuous cycle:
Talent → Technology → Enterprises → Profits → Stock Prices → More Talent.
This flywheel spins faster and faster, becoming harder and harder to chase; the U.S. itself cannot supply enough talent, but that’s okay—they directly supplement from the global pool.
This is the core logic behind why the U.S. stock market can maintain a long-term bull market for a century:
You are not just buying a few companies; you are buying the long-term compounding benefits brought by the continuous innovation of the strongest group of people in the world.
Investing in U.S. stocks essentially means reaping the dividends of the smartest 0.1% of people globally. This is something that other countries cannot learn to replicate.
