I have now declared myself a Republic and I consider it my patriotic duty to take profits from the CME.
These profits are distributed by an Act of Congress ( thats me) for the betterment of the citizens
( that is me also)
Some meetings of Congress are so confidential that I cannot even discuss them with myself.
How much more patriotic can I get!!

Some of the biggest and most successful companies in the world are not listed on the stockmarket.
Unlisted companies far outnumber those that are are listed.
Companies don't have to float on the stockmarket - they choose to do so.
They do so in preference to raising money by other means.
They do so knowing what the market is and what the market does.
They know the market players include all sorts and sizes of players, each of whom is there to take a profit from someone or somewhere. They know that people are betting up, down, sideways, inside out, whatever.
If they consider its behaviour to be unacceptable, they don't need to accept it.
Loada Dosh appears to have his own concept of what a market should be and how it should behave. For some strange reason he thinks patriotism should play a part (gawd knows why!) and that longterm shareholders are the only ones whose rights and interests matter above all other players.
The stockmarket is what the stockmarket is.
Nobody has to go there.

Good points Purple. Also stocks can decline on there own weight if there's a lack of buying interest. The market is always right, up or down. Today's modern investor/trader needs to be educated to the point where there comfortable trading and investing on both the ups and the downs.

PS: A question for ethical investors - particularly those ethical investors who regard shorting as unethical and harmful to the company; Is it ethical to short an unethical company?
