you will notice - influential businessmen one by one will start to give a bad outlook on the future of the market.

to be sure, before they do, they will sell a good portion of their stocks and advise theirs to do the same.. they make the public negative outlook. This in hopes to scare other investors out - lowering prices. so they can.. at just the right time.. come back in and subsequently give positives reports - helping the market to go back up.. earning money for them.

    Glad to see you are a firm believer in the stock market being an emotional market place.

    Who cares what they're saying. Jst make sure you buy low and sell high.

    Wh is this the fault of capitlaism any ways? It's the fault of greedy people. People who'd be greedy with or without capitalism. Do you blame capitalism for providing the funding for research leading to medical breakthroughs and great new medicines? If you have a problem with capitalism, do you rely on China for all your healtch care break throughs?

    already have. I noticed a lack of consistency in messages a while back and moved everything I had in my 401K to government securities.

    Now I just have to gauge when to get back in for the rebound.

    My points are many... most of all this con should not be delivered on what pretends to be a news show.

    I blame CNN and FOX on capitalism. CNN and Fox are peddling the misinformation

    Capitalizing on peoples inability to closely follow the game. The inner circle conspiring.

    What the hell people do with all these millions? It's some kind of addiction.

    One of my clients donates art work to museums from his collection. His latest was a 50 million dollar piece... You should see his house...it's stunning. I shit you not.

    insane money...

    I could see capitalizing on investments, but spinning things to screw people is shit...
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions

    Thats not going to happen it will go down but it will come back up it's happening everywhere not just america.
    Keep on rockin in the free world!!!!

    The economy has polarized to the point where the wealthiest 10% now own 85% of the nation’s wealth. Never before have the bottom 90% been so highly indebted, so dependent on the wealthy.

    I still say that Capitalism is no better or worse than Communism.

    And capitalism keeps the rich incredibly rich at the expense of the poor.

    There must be a nice medium out there. But that would take decent human beings to create it so i guess it won't be happeneing anytime soon.

    well that didnt last long.


    capitalism isnt making me rich or poor. it makes me happy. I am able to get a job and start my own business.

    your first statement is the biggest crock of shit. laziness makes people poor. not rich people.

    I think a lot of analysts make money through insider trading put options. It's almost like a bet that the market will drop. I don't quite understand the whole thing, but that's allegedly what happend prior to 9/11. There's still a large amount of money left unclaimed (so it is said).

    Hrm. a medium you say. we'll call it communitalism. sounds like something londoners have to do on the tube.

    Yea, Capitalism is "Survival of the fittest" "Fuck the dysfunctional"

    Capitalism is not compassionate, it's is the exact opposite. You are better off if you have more abilities, and many people don't have those abilities.

    There is nothing stopping Communism 3.0 from allowing you to do what you want, except the prevailing belief that communism is evil.

    But, as I said, they are both good and bad. The main disadvantage to communism is that it puts the state in ultimate control of the economy.

    I always wonder if the people so unhappy with capitalism would be happy to do without the good and great things that capitalism has enabled in our lives. They complain but they don't move to communes. Some people just like being unhappy I think.

    Don't ask Ahnimus this question. You know his answer is determinism. The person can't help it, they are just the end product of theire DNA and environment. There is zero freewill in the choices they make, it's all pre-determined. Those that try harder only do so because it's been pre-determined for them that they'll try harder. Those that are lazy are only lazy because that's the way their life was pre-determined.

    It's metabolic.

    Human metabolism is a complex system of interacting tissues and hormones. You really need a solid understanding of it. In addition, humans, like animals, have hibernation modes that cause a phenomenologically lazy state with high energy consumption. There are many genetic mutations that cause variations in metabolism.

    You could always prove me wrong by removing your brain.

    Probably not, but what would you suppose the causes are?

    I prove you wrong every time I make a decision in life. Again, you only see what you want to see, the truth scares you. The truth of freewill is too much responsibility for many to face, so they become irrational. Don't worry it's a common ailment so you shouldn't feel bad about having it. :)
