I'd love to see a consistent record of the market reflecting the economy. Especially when the market is as contrived as the economic numbers are inconsistent canadiancapitalist.com virtus.com The market incentivizes stealing. It completely distances and dilutes the lender from the borrower, making the borrower no longer accountable beyond paying lawyers and accountants to produce walls of worthless, dated, and easily manipulated mumbo jumbo in the form of an SEC filing. How can an operation that bleeds capital from the economy be considered an accurate gauge of economic conditions? Most mgmt focuses on stock performance more than growth, because that's their lifeblood. Look how long a public company, particularly in it's infancy, can survive with losses year after year vs a private company, because they can tap the capital markets while hiding losses. And the capital markets are run by the biggest thieves and greediest pigs on the planet. You call that efficient? A public company can make mistakes and raise limitless capital and dole out excessive salaries with little concern over being accountable or suffering any consequences. That's not an economy. That's a scam.
