Call 911 … The Stock Market is a Joke!!!

“Call 911. The Stock Market is a joke in your town”. The World bases whether the economy is improving on the buying and selling of stocks on a stock exchange. How ludicrous is that. The stock market consists of a combination of corporations and small businesses and their stock volume, along with the value of the stocks. Each day, we watch the stock market and see the ups and downs of how the stocks are faring. STOP!!! We do not have enough information or access to information to determine the validity of this process as a basis for how the economy is progressing. How do we know what stocks are being bought and sold? It could be the same stocks each day? All we see is that the stock market is increasing or decreasing based on supposedly what the stockbrokers believe as affecting the market, such as an economic crisis, raw material shortages, politics, etc. These stockbrokers are “playing” with our lives. They are giving the illusion that our economy is in a financial crisis based on how the stocks market numbers are being displayed. WE need to take this information with a “grain of salt”. Why don’t we know what stocks are being bought or sold? Because that would eliminate the ability of the stock market to provide the illusion that has made it so famous today. Government and society needs to stop putting so much faith in the stock market as an indicator of the economic condition. If this perception can be changed, then it will lead to recovery. As long as, we are made to believe that the stock market is an indicator of the economic conditions of the world, then we will continue to limit our spending. Stop investing in the stock market. Why provide the stock market with the ability to utilize your funds for the improvement of the wealth of stockbrokers and corporations that have already striped the nation of its dignity and that continue to increase their own coffers with no consideration for the American taxpayer. The stock brokers control our perceptions based on their activities. If they want to continue the fear of economic crisis, then they can sell stocks and the stock market shows a decrease in the value of stocks. If they want to make it seem like the economy is getting better, then they can buy stocks. The stock market needs to be discounted as a basis for economic status as it is controlled by human behavior and not by economic indicators. Strip these stock brokers of their ability to control our lives and begin to develop your own perceptions of the economy. Once you take the stock market out of the equation, you will find that the economy can rebound as businesses begin to use their own forecasting and strategies to improve their economic condition and not rely heavily on the buying and selling of corporate stock that we have no significant information on. Is it GM stock or IBM? We have no idea and thus we become the believers of a cruel joke that never ends.
