rarebird, you sound remarkably like someone I know know had his life savings invested in the Nikkei at its peak, and he's still holding on to it just knowing it will come back. I kinda feel sorry for you, the stockmasher machine owns your mind, you're a sick puppy. Why don't you get a job and do something useful for society? gosh, you could go to north korea and hand out Cokes and Twinkies to the millions of starving children.
Just make sure they're not diet Cokes, OK?
I can remember a time not so long ago when the dream job was working in the Peace Corps or nonprofit doing something useful, to be an engineer working on alternative-energy sources, to be a doctor fixing sick people. If the dream is to be the idle rich staring at a computer screen trading stocks, then our society is doomed. We become a nation of haves and have-nots, with a growing gap between rich and poor. Companies will collapse in their inability to demand more productivity out of a workforce of demoralized, undereducated, underpaid serfs, the apathy of their Versailles Court of overpaid executives, and the problem of too many competitors and not enough demand.
The business cycle has not been repealed. The bear is at the door, breathing down your neck. |
