My New Book: Investing in America – Meb Faber Research

What if the biggest investment in history was not a stock but a country?

On July 4, 2026, the United States will celebrate its 250th anniversary. To mark this point, I wrote a book that every investor should have on their bookshelf.

A generation of young investors are learning about the markets through casinos. There are meme stocks, zero-day options, screens full of green and red arrows designed to hijack your dopamine, and more. The real story is better than anything else.

Through wars, collapses, bubbles, pandemics, and political turmoil, one truth has persisted:

America’s long-term investors have been rewarded.

Investing in America: The Rise of a 250-Year Bull Market is a large hardcover that explains the history of the U.S. stock market by decade, from the Buttonwood Agreement in 1792 to the AI ​​era. It’s full of charts, photos, investor quotes, and sidebars. The kind of book you put on the coffee table and can’t turn over.

first rule

If you invested $1 in U.S. stocks in 1799 and left it alone, your great-great-great-grandchildren would be worth roughly $200 million today.

No day trading. There are no genius stock recommendations. Owning the most productive economy in the world and enjoying long-term compound interest is enough.

What’s inside?

This book is not your typical investment book. A visual journey through American financial history from the 1700s to today.

This book includes:

• Hundreds of charts, tables and archival photos
• Quotes from Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger, Howard Marks, Peter Lynch, J. Paul Getty, and more.
• Sidebar on what they don’t teach, including:
  • • Dividends must be reinvested.
    • Most millionaires are self-made
    • The biggest stocks are rarely the same every decade

From 1800 to 2020, each decade has its own chapter covering key events, investor sentiment, crises and innovations. Every chapter concludes with actual stock market returns over that decade and what the next 10 and 50 years might look like for someone who stayed invested.
