All of this emphasis on the stock market is fascinating. It sees so simple.

When one looks at how the stock market operates, it's the ultimate gambling hall. Buyers buy with the hope (gamble) that someone else will buy later at a higher rate, and soon. As long as this upward spiral (gamble) goes on, everyone sings a happy song. If the next-level buyers don't buy at the ever-increasing price, the bottom falls out. When the market gets hurt the worst is when buyers buy (gamble) with borrowed funds.

Las Vegas is actually kinder, as there is no false image as to what's occurring.

So, when gamblers stop buying stocks because they don't like the odds of winning, the "financial world" collapses.

So, in order to save the nation and the world, we need to gamble more and save less. What a life!
