Amy, RE: I think large companies should create a new type of dividend - a stock option - for the long-term holders. Some of the WS crowd deserves none of those due to their short-term momo nature - I think short-term investors and long-term investors could use more of a distinction - why not use options as a way to do so. A little bit more interesting than a cash or share dividend. What you're describing there is a "right", and a lot of smaller companies use that as a capital-raising strategy. My best performing long position last year used that strategy and it was highly rewarding for both the company and the shareholders. This really isn't much of an option for larger companies for a variety of reasons.

What is up with this market? Tech got slammed today. Geez My guess is that the Fed has pumped too much money into the single family dwelling market over the last 5 years. To correct this, I would think the Fed is stepping on the money supply to reduce liquidity. This will constrain the stock market in an obvious manner. Someone with access to these figures may be able to confirm this. Meanwhile, the effect of this unfortunate occurrence of diverting money from a productive area of the economy to a non productive one, effects the stock market. Or as we say in Technical terms, Pigeons coming home to roost. The idea would be to do this after the election.
