You are correct in an obvious way, that everything is impermanent.
Rusty Crowe, in all his idiocy, has in fact made an astute observation of this crisis.
His plan is to give every American $1 million, that adds up to roughly $300 million, a hell of a lot less than $300 billion that the bailout plan is.
Now if everyone got a million, then just about everyones credit problems would be reduced or eliminated altogether.
The caveat is that greedy pigs who want to be very, very, stinking rich, have all got serious credit problems that bailout probably wouldn't help.
SO, if most of the poor working class, us, managed to get their head out of the "S" bend, then the only people left to suffer is the stinking greedy rich people who deserve to take a cut in profits, anyway.
The USA government is only supporting the rich by this bailout, which is doomed to fail, because it cannot sustain the huge credit bubble caused by the rich trying to get richer.
Stand up and demand social justice from a morally bankrupt government, that feeds off your taxes, then rips it off you, loses it, and then uses more of your future money to bail out the rich. |

Uh Hank, If every American were to receive a Million Dollars, the Total would come out to $300,000,000,000,000.00 or $300 Trillion Dollars. WAAAAAY MORE MONEY THAN THE US HAS EVER HAD! The current budget is arroun $3 trillion. Our GDP is typically arround $14 trillion.
You make the public school system so proud. |

Very true. That is why one needs to temper their risk over the long haul. A long term investment plan should consist of a balance of stocks, bonds and cash. A more aggressive approach may result in higher returns but much greater risk. A conservative approach may not produce maximum returns, but will allow one to sleep better.
Hank - Your math is WAY off. Giving everyone (300 million citizens) $1.00 would equal $300 million. Giving everyone $1 million would be $300,000,000,000,000 ($300 trillion). Good luck with that! |

That's the idea of risk. Stuffing money in savings accounts doesn't even keep up with inflation.
On another thought what really is a "share" of a company? |

Quick answer yes
But the skilled know exactly when to get out of the market, or trade the market both ways ( trade prices to rise and trade prices to fall).
Usually greed takes over though - you have to know when to cut your losses ( however painful)
Successful traders make more from the wins than they lose on the losses |

I think the problem most people have with the current situation is that things they had no say in which are beyond their control are affecting them in a very real way and there is little realistically they can do about this now, or do to prevent a similar thing happening in future.
It is all very well to say that high paid bankers etc who choose to make a good living out of the market should expect at some point to come a cropper to it, but the reality is that many average or lower wage earners are being affected seriously by this, and they don't get the gravy when times are good but are sure feeling the pinch now times are not so good. I think this is what is upsetting people, the fact that they rarely gain from the markets but are suffering because of no fault of their own now the markets are down.
Average people don't generally gain much from the markets, so average people are understandably upset that they should have to suffer when the market is down. |

I am responding to Clown's comment. WOW! That gives such a different perspective. I guess some invest in the commodity we are most comfortable and familiar. Is there a better way? |

You're too clever for me. What, in your mind, would be a better solution? |

Very true, if we apply that same logic to social programs it would work as well. If you cant find a job, you should starve to death. If you are unable to work, you should be left for dead. Welfare needs to end, it is not a free market program. All social programs should be ended, according to the logic that one should die by the the market they have "lived" by.
