How does it feel knowing you've been duped by degenerate media to fund a shadow front (the stockmarket) that not only doesn't exist, but has zero actual ramifications in reality?
I bet you all think you've been getting actual returns on investments that are literally fucking this country over.
I feel fine, actually.
Why?

You do realize the stock market is a sham right?

Why is it a sham? Because you read a troll thread on /pol/?

Well that's a pretty elaborate and expensive sham.
Who all is in on it?
The owners of literally every business would have to know, right?
Surely they'd notice when the investments don't reach them.
What happens then? Why don't owners of small businesses say anything?
Is money actually being spent to mimic how a stock market would work to fool us into thinking it exists? If so, how is this fake market any different from a real market? I'm still putting money in and I'm still getting money out.

>it has no real ramifications on reality.
>>1053527
What do you mean by that?
I buy a stock, it's value goes up, I sell it, and now I have more money than I started with.
Is that not a ramification?

You're not actually buying stock, you're buying debt from other countries.

I wasn't expecting that answer.
I think you're confusing stocks with a very weird interpretation of bonds.
>people don't realize that the stock market and financial institutions do the same thing that a central planning committee does in a socialist country
>allocation of capital and investment of resources aren't productive things
People like you remind me why the Founding Fathers didn't want this country to be a democracy. Thank god it's turning out that way.

No, I'm not.
When the stock market plummeted in the 1980's why didn't we enter another recession?
>>1053549
Because financial institutions were more stable thanks to the Glass-Steagall Act, and you didn't have a housing bubble on the scale of the one in 2007.
>>1053549
So what about the small businesses? Do stocks and bonds not exist for them either?
