Slightly wrong AnotherChance, the reason why the value of the stocks doesn't matter isn't because they have no value, but because the money used to purchase them was already given to some one else.
if i buy a stock today and tomorrow it doubles or triples or increases ten fold its not real wealth, just as if in the next day it drops back to where it started on the day i bought it has nothing to do with real wealth at all. nothing has been gained or lost, and it is this fake wealth that is being bailed out by other fake forms of wealth. wait till people realize that the money isnt worth anything, then we are really in for it.
Well if the company is well managed the stock will have the backing of assets instead of imagination, because the company will not have a debt load that exceeds the value of its assets.
sure in some cases but not in most i dont think. stocks get hyped and just because people want it they increase for no other reason. look at the whole .com bubble, or look at the housing bubble. these values are perceived and not real
when was the topic ever about sending billions of dollars out of the country to help other nations? i know the post you quoted had nothing to do with the response. the only time we got remotely close to that is talking about the war on terror (which we started and is our problem) and the global markets (which rely on us doing well so is also largely our problem)
are you sure your not just saying that cuz you finally know im right
Lots of things get hyped up... but like all bubbles the dot com bubble burst, now if only the government would do the same with this "affordable" housing bubble.
The road to Hell is paved with Good Intentions and the corpses of Demonrats and Repups.
they are just about free now arent they
The Megadeath song "Peace Sells Who's Buying" says it all.
There's still people who don't have this stuff at a minimum stored? lol.. silly sheeple.. Lamps also are a bare minimum.. a camping stove (plus the oven attachment), heater, and a stock of the propane tanks another bare minimum.. Water, filter, vitamins, med supplies..I could go on and on.. lol.. This momma bear has made sure her pack will be safe and ready for anything that may be coming.. Kinda sad if you ask me, I was outside the other day watching the squirrels gather and bury nuts, they have better instincts than most 'civilized humans'.. lol.. Ok.. I'ma hush up now..
