In my previous post to you I had suggested that AG might have had a different motive for attacking the markets the way he did.

Someone recently informed me of the existence of a secret group called The Bilderbergers. Now, I must admit that I am not much on conspiracy theories. However, I do not dismiss the possibility of the existence of a group of businessmen influencing world politics and global economics.

AG recently attacked investors who were suddenly finding fortune in the markets. WHY???

I asked myself the question, what is wrong with average investors making money with stocks? For many years investors were told to put their money in the bank, or buy Bonds, and in recent years, buy Mutual Funds. These investments would yield anywhere between 1% to 10%. The internet suddenly opened the door for the average investor and gave him direct access to the markets. With this instant access, average investors quickly learned that by investing their capital themselves they could earn the same amounts that the big boys (brokerage houses) were earning. Only difference being that they got to keep it and got to buy the fancy "Beamers" instead of their brokers.

So again the question remains, what is wrong with average investors making money with stocks?

My layman's point of view is that money is Independence. It is certainly much easier to control a population who is in "need" than it is to control one which is Financially Independent. It is much easier to tell your boss to wash his own dishes when you have a million dollars sitting in your bank account.

Is it possible that the "Enrichment" of Americans raised the ire of those Bilderbergers or other similar groups????
