This sounds fair. If you have a short position 5%+ of the float you should reveal your position.

The people here talking about people making their own lives have a good point... ... if the higher education in the US was free. Without proper and affordable education, working hard might not be as productive as you think you want it to be. You can only work so hard and getting nowhere...

The ability to create cheap labour out of oil creates wealth, once oil and other energy runs out, standard of living will go way, way below what people we're used too. Keep in mind until 200 years ago slavery was the primary source of cheap labor.

The DOW low last week was 7250, while the low of 2002 was 7200. That we broke november lows is bearish but until we even touch the 2002 bottom, there's no reason to yell DOW 1k IMO:eek:

You can also think the other way around. It only takes one or few persons to create wealth for alot of other people. This is dangerous in the sense that if people think wealth is stable, they can be in alot of trouble. Because people are able to take loan out on the amount of money a house has...
