[quote=flu]Well, I guess the average person doesn’t understand when wall street stops investing in main street….Main street businesses go under, and then that 4-5% unemployment ends up being much worse… And for those folks that think things can’t possibly get worse, obviously they haven’t been financially decimated enough to understand.[/quote]
These days, wall street doesn’t invest, it speculates. It might be better if wall street left main street to the individual investors – your dividends might get juicier because the share price wouldn’t be priced so tight against yield.
