Thread Name: BS: Another finance quake....
Subject: RE: BS: Another finance quake....
I have recently begun to have contempt for that class of people who create or market nothing, but base all or most of their financial well-being on trying to out-guess the variances of the stock market! They seem to be offended if all the OTHERS trying to do the same thing don't do so in a convenient way. Why SHOULD all these idiots moving numbers around be allowed to create problems for those of us who just try to earn a decent living by doing something? Why don't the go play high-stakes poker if they want to gamble, and insulate the results from more normal aspects of the market place? I have no problem with owning stock in a company....I merely object to this frantic juggling and minute-by-minute changing what one owns in order to get an unreasonable share of what OTHER people have produced.
How about regulations about how much & how often stocks can be traded?
