The Stock Market Myth: Good News...Stocks Plunge!

[georgephillip]

It's artificially raising share price.

"What exactly is a stock buyback? Stock 'buybacks' are when companies buy back their own stock from shareholders on the open market. When a share of stock is bought back, the company reduces the number of shares left in the market, which raises the price of remaining shares."

Stock Buybacks aren’t Boring Finance Jargon…They’re Deadly. It’s Time to End Them.

It's artificially raising share price.

Why are the higher prices "artificial"?
Raising the price of something by government mandate.....that's artificial.
Not stock buybacks. Sorry.

Over the last 15 years, 94 percent of corporate profits have gone to shareholders in the form of buybacks and dividends, instead of to workers and their families.

Oh no!!!
Profits going to owners, the humanity!!
FYI, worker wages and benefits are much, much higher than profits.

How much labor do the owners perform?
Only capitalism rewards parasites before productive workers.
Maybe that's why useless eaters celebrate exploitation?

Look, Karl.

You and the rest of the commies love to ignore the fact that "exploitation" is a two-way street. The "exploited" have no risk or responsibility. They get a paycheck, regardless of the bottom line. Their entire financial future has not been risked or sacrificed. They are exploiting the employer.

We already know you commies want to steal and redistribute everything to the "collective" but that is just maniacal nonsense that never works and will only enrich a VERY small group of powerful people and force poverty and misery on everyone else.

You know it's true.

The only fair system is the oldest system, natural system.

"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” —Winston Churchill

You're pining for the oldest economic system, Winnie?

Churchill wasn't wise; he was among the most vile war criminals who ever lived which probably explains your devotion, right?

You ungrateful little commie twat. Churchill was FIGHTING a war criminal. You wanted a Sunday School teacher for your PM?



Thank Odin you were not in control. English would be the language of the past.

You have no business deciding anything. You're a fucking child.

You commies will never win as long as America exists as it is. That's why we will fight your goose-stepping commie asses to your bloody death to keep your ignorant commie shit the fuck out of here.

.Kill a commie for mommy.

I see why you and Odin think Winnie was winner.
He wasn't.
He was just one more arrogant, white supremacist with a vivid imagination.

The white race in not superior in any way except in mass murder.
Aren't you proud, Boy?

 

[basquebromance]

we need the fed to do a rate cut, my friends

we also need quantitative easing, not tightening!

 

[basquebromance]

i'm gonna be kind here..."certain people" in the media want a recession. if the fed would do its job, the economy would go gangbusters! we would have a tremendous spirit of growth and a burst of growth like you've never seen before...its a psychological thing

Do you want me to show you all the racist shit your commie overlords stated?

You're applying 2019 standards to 1937.

Just look at Churchill's socialist counterpart in the U.S. He imprisoned Japanese people, set up a white-only housing program, didn't invite Jesse Owens to the White House with the white atletes who competed in the 1936 games (because he was black), refused to support anti-lynching legislation, and appointed a former member of the KKK (Hugo Black) to the U.S. Supreme Court.

FDR's communist predecessor, Woodrow Wilson, RE-segregated the Federal Government, and fired 15 of 17 black supervisors who could not be segregated. He publicly defended the KKK.

He said, regarding Reconstruction, "the dominance of an ignorant and inferior race was justly dreaded."

Wilson was also a proponent of eugenics. Go look at that shit.

What did your Commie British leaders have to say on the issue of race?

The founder of your commie Labour Party, Keir Hardie, was the biggest racist piece of shit imaginable.

Don't drudge up your shit. There's plenty of racism to go around, and you fucking commie gods are right in the fucking middle of it.

That is more of a taxation and regulation problem than anything else. You want to enslave everyone with your commie shit because past politicians fucked up business in America?

That's like killing a mosquito with bazooka.

It sure doesn't help when we have at least 11 million illegal workers driving down the job market and fucking Americans right in the ass, but commies seem to love that problem and will do anything to protect it.

"The Economic Policy Institute (EPI) estimates that the rising U.S. trade deficit with Mexico and Canada under NAFTA had already eliminated about one million net jobs in the United States by 2004.10

"EPI estimates that about one third of the jobs lost due to the rising trade deficit under NAFTA’s first decade were in non-manufacturing sectors of the economy, including service sector jobs, which suffered as closed factories no longer demanded services.11

"EPI further calculated that the ballooning trade deficit with Mexico alone destroyed about 850,000 net U.S. jobs between NAFTA’s implementation and 2013.12 This toll has likely grown since 2013, as the non-fossil fuel U.S. trade deficit with Mexico has risen further.13"

Favorable tax and trade policies obtained from political bribes are how capitalists acquire and maintain their fortunes. When their greed makes them hollow out the manufacturing base in one country, they move on to another part of the world. In a socialist economy, workers would have voting members sitting on the boards of directors of the major corporations they work for; do you think they would vote to send their jobs overseas?

Oh, I see. You don't fucking know what Socialism even is.

So, you are a true commie.

Just checking.

You support the concept of NO individual owning the means of production?

You support the complete divestment of those property rights, and "public" ownership, which really means NO ONE has ownership.

The goal of socialists (communists) is to pilfer from all and give to a few powerful rulers, leaving the subjects with NOTHING.

Is there any reason the asset bubble should be encouraged to grow larger?

Chances of a September Fed rate cut increase

• "The fed funds futures market now points to a 74% chance of at least a quarter-point rate cut at the Fed’s September meeting, according to CME FedWatch tool.
• Traders are also pricing in two more cuts to the benchmark lending rate to a range of 150 to 175 basis points by the end of 2019."

You cons always conflate "rugged individualism" with corporatism.
In contrast, worker self-directed enterprises restore individual control of the workplaces and the means of production.

Start With Worker Self-Directed Enterprises

"Contemporary capitalism no longer 'delivers the goods'—understood as a rising standard of real wages—to the majority of people.

"That classic defense of its instability (recurrent bouts of unemployment, lost output, and wasted resources), its deepening economic, political, and cultural inequalities (as Thomas Piketty documents), and the attendant injustices are no longer plausible.

"In the U.S. since the 1970s, and especially since 2007, those who control the dominant capitalist enterprises and the resulting economic 'development' made decisions that undermined the delivery of rising standards of living to the mass of people."

"EPI estimates that about one third of the jobs lost due to the rising trade deficit under NAFTA’s first decade were in non-manufacturing sectors of the economy, including service sector jobs, which suffered as closed factories no longer demanded services.11

"EPI further calculated that the ballooning trade deficit with Mexico alone destroyed about 850,000 net U.S. jobs between NAFTA’s implementation and 2013.12 This toll has likely grown since 2013, as the non-fossil fuel U.S. trade deficit with Mexico has risen further.13"

Favorable tax and trade policies obtained from political bribes are how capitalists acquire and maintain their fortunes.

That is more of a taxation and regulation problem than anything else. You want to enslave everyone with your commie shit because past politicians fucked up business in America?

That's like killing a mosquito with bazooka.

It sure doesn't help when we have at least 11 million illegal workers driving down the job market and fucking Americans right in the ass, but commies seem to love that problem and will do anything to protect it.

So, you are a true commie.

Just checking.

You support the concept of NO individual owning the means of production?

You support the complete divestment of those property rights, and "public" ownership, which really means NO ONE has ownership.

The goal of socialists (communists) is to pilfer from all and give to a few powerful rulers, leaving the subjects with NOTHING.

Tell me I am wrong.

"Post 1945, key decision makers also made sure to disconnect government from what meager accountability to the mass of the citizenry it had before 1945.

"That was their response to the Great Depression, when, pressure from below forced the New Deal’s combination of high taxes on wealth and business to fund mass relief from capitalist depression (via Social Security, unemployment compensation, and a massive federal jobs program).

"That disconnect enabled the computerization of the U.S. workplace, alongside the massive export of jobs to low-wage regions of the world, both without opposition, or even compensation, for the resulting dislocations and declines (e.g., Detroit)."

Look, Karl.

You and the rest of the commies love to ignore the fact that "exploitation" is a two-way street. The "exploited" have no risk or responsibility. They get a paycheck, regardless of the bottom line. Their entire financial future has not been risked or sacrificed. They are exploiting the employer.

We already know you commies want to steal and redistribute everything to the "collective" but that is just maniacal nonsense that never works and will only enrich a VERY small group of powerful people and force poverty and misery on everyone else.

You know it's true.

The only fair system is the oldest system, natural system.

"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” —Winston Churchill
