Jim is playing psychology of the crowds for his personal gain. If out of suddenly someone starts selling prompted by the instigated terror, Jim would buy on the cheap from the frightened crowds and would laugh all the way to the bank. It is not about economics. It is about psychology. Anmericans will elect the first idiot that allays the fear right now. “Only Thing We Have to Fear Is Fear Itself” If you have no cujones you fear. If you fear then must go work for Post Office. Uhm,, this Tehran mountains are beautfull from my window here. Any bombers coming this way? Elmat stands right here because he's got cujones.

And he proceeded saying "fear —nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance." * He was a master who knew the psychology of the crowds. Once the crowds heard that, the crowds' brains released some chemicals on their blood streams and they felt good. That feel good effect enhanced the trust in the leader that uttered those words. And went home and started working for the improvement of the economic situation. The economy recovered. But it was psychology that prompted that economic recovery. *FDR inaugural address in 1933 at the depth of the Recession. Today every dick and harry is trying to do the opposite: they are trying to instigate fear for they know that fear is good for them... Why we lose more games wearing white jerseys and yellow shorts than when we play wearing yellow jerseys and blue shorts? Because of the fear the yellow jersey gives the opposite team. They lose to the color of the jersey. It is not our football power. It is undermining their capacity of the other team to believe they can beat us and raise to the occasions.
