Reading about a possible cause for the recent recession in the U.S. markets, a thought struck me that unearthed a clear explanation for why so much turmoil is arising not only in the economy, but also, the psychological security, the American people caught in this rabble, are lacking. It's outright people misleading people! I thought, "Hey, it's plain as day". In the New York Times an economic columnist was baffled at a potential trigger to the recent market recession, known as "liquidity puts". I'm no economist, but if an individual who writes about economy for the New York Times, cannot understand a certain market tactic, then it seems to me there's an inside to the markets that is generally unknown to the Fed, and the public investors for the most part. What we have here, is a market being driven by corporate entities, and not the investors. Corporations who funneled money into the housing market, expecting higher returns, drove the prices through the roof, in order to double their returns. Now, we left floating in a financial limbo, waiting for the market to either bottom out, or be rescued by the Fed.
I'm all about high risk, for a high return, but everyone was doing it! Everyone put all their bets on one thing, which to me is an unspoken scam by Wall Street. They invested, and they drove to the information highways a promise of profit to be made. Why? Because a corporate investor knows it's a sure thing, if they advertise to the public that investing in their investment is the right move. Sounds like a scam to me. As with all else that's been going on since 2000, including the Enron scandal, Arthur Andersen, and the list goes on.
If you're not catching my drift, so to speak, then let's lay it out. In my opinion, these corporate entities are pretty much running the investment show: what they say (invest in), goes (public investors invest in). And when the market gets a little shaky or tight, they hedge their losses, and take the money and run. All the while, once caught, years of litigation, and a slap on the hand, and the big-wig executives walk off with a lot of money. Your money!
Investment, these days has turned into a scam artists dream. I have investments all over the place, and with the latest news, I don't feel I can trust these companies with my money anymore, because they treat it like it's theirs, and not mine, and it's really hurting the security of the world in general, not just its wallet.
