I think the choice presented is interesting. But I don't think the chart is made beautiful by the data, which is what this sub is about.

Not just that, almost nobody in this sub is ever going to even have one of those as a choice, so what is even the point of comparing these two numbers?

  1. Bad Visual Design: There's literally two numbers, and the numbers are hard to read since they're vertical.
  2. Misleading 1: Warren Buffet != Berkshire Hathaway
  3. Misleading 2: Not the same time frame for the comparison of the two entities
  4. Shit Sources: Dividend yield of 704M is based off of 2022Q1-2022Q3 of 2022, true dividend yield is unknown as it has not been announced for 2022Q4.

That's the other half of it. You can work hard and be in the right field and almost certainly be a CEO somewhere. In investing a stroke of bad luck can bankrupt you overnight.

Yeah. Roughly 70% of investment accounts are on the red. For every Warren Buffet and Charlie Munger, there are literally tens of millions of people who lost money trying to trade/invest.
