Occupy Wall Street

This is unbelievable. You really believe that American entrepeneurship could be fully funded through bank loans? The fact that you think that the stock market as a whole is to blame for this mess shows how badly we have failed to educate people on subjects that actually are useful in society.
 
Prodigal, I have thought more about wall street, due to this thread, than I have thought about wall street in the previous 50 years of my life. It used to be a barometer of how the economy was doing though it did not always mirror how my business was doing. I have purchased only two stocks in my life, both oil related and both for my co's profit sharing and I was the fiduciary. Both on recommendations and both lost 40% of their value before I ended the experiment.

When I went into business in 1965, wall street was intriguing but I would not put my money into something I knew nothing about. Most of my earnings went back into the company and some to real estate.

I have watched wall street (back then banks did not sell stocks) evolve from intriguing to a monster that in my opinion broke the world. I liked wall street back in the 60's, I detest wall street now. I am a small business lover. I wonder what the ratio of small business was to all the business on the stock market in the 60's, and now? To me, small business in America is America. I don't feel the same about mega corps.

It was mentioned above that maybe I wanted to go back to a farming and ranching economy. Exaggerations are fun but no, I don't want to go back that far. But moving wall street back to the 60's would be plenty good for me.
 
I think you have already proved you're clueless about Wall St. You must think Wall Street is just a building in New York City.

Lol.

It's actually a street in NYC. That's why it's called Wall Street and not Wall Building or Wall Drugstore.
 
BrothaHorn's pic is the best!

Of course all the lefties on here will think the kid is a racist cause he works hard and pays taxes and expects others to do the same!
