Jonathan Yardley reviews a new biography of one of the greatest American businessmen ever: Milton S. Hershey.
(And take a look at how Hershey stock--quiet, low-tech, unsexy--has done over the past 20 years: it's beaten the pants off the S&P. I make it a CAGR of about 16.4%.)
Cool! We all visited Hershey Park last year and really enjoyed it, highly recommended.

Not to take anything away from HSY, it's a great company. But all above average stocks beat the S&P, that's why they call it an average.
