How does it seem to you? I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with the stock market, tee. It's people investing in businesses and being able to buy and sell their stake. Treating it like a casino, attempts at manipulation, the impact of very large institutional trades, short term thinking by management looking at share value, and mistaking market reactions for the economy's fundamentals are all complications, but can be mitigated with regulation and common sense. quote:

Without it, my investment options would be limited to low interest alternatives, and my retirement fund would be a fraction of what it is now. And by the same stroke, some who worked hard and bought in as they were told have retirement funds that are fractions of what they could have been, no? What about the "American Dream" of hard work and entrepreneurial spirit rewarded? Instead, computers and manipulators are running/ruining any values that may have initially been hoped for...it seems to me. they kill you with inflation! 30+% since 2001 So that means for every 100 grand you lost 300,000 just for using the MM's concept money! Plus you get to pay taxes on the money when you try to recover your costs of inflation as capital gains. Oh the grand joys of money as a concept!!!!! LOL
