If the produce and/or service market is weak, then the economy is slow and wage-earners cannot expect security let alone increment or bonus of any size as to command enough capital to sustain a long-term play in the stock market. <br /><br />Yet wage-earners are those needing extra-funds the most because what they earn cannot buy them a home or service one these days, or help them pay for increasing educational costs overseas for their children in preparation for exodus from the flood of stupidity that has spread like the plague in this land. Few can afford a holiday anymore in order to get away and recharge their batteries. Those who can will look with dismay at their dwindling savings which even if standing still will be falling in buying power what more on the back of insipid interest rates. Most will fall into the deeper holes of debts while holding onto jobs that are at best unsteady income sources.<br /><br />Yet all know if governance is given primacy, then both public and private sectors can earn trust of spenders and investors so that more capital can roll in and around to spark productivity and creativity and nurse the economy back to enduring health and greater resilience. Without good governance, trust will be gone and people will only play the stock market because they can only see risks increasing in all segments of the mainstream market. The tipping point is when the long-term risks of brick-and-mortar businesses eclipse the risks from the short-term dynamics of the virtual share market and financing business so that the original remit of the stock market as non-bank lender to enterprise gets distorted permanently.<br /><br />Working the hardest and most honest, the middle-income earners these days are hurting the most in the history of this country. The unfairness to them is a grievous indictment of all that has been going bad and wrong here. In a manner of speaking their working here and contributing quietly to the economy and country for all of their lives is like an investment gone sour just as the pallbearer comes a-calling. They have no reprieve nor succor for their families, only a fate written on the graffiti-ed walls in some forgettable backyard to the rest of the world. When people have to kid themselves by comparing more and more to only those lower and lower in the ranks, you know it's curtains.wallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580252352785040456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5014075006969917149.post-8278834091633931342015-08-27T22:37:06.789+08:002015-08-27T22:37:06.789+08:00I guess if everyone follows the same rules, then n...I guess if everyone follows the same rules, then no one will be advantaged in a trade. If all buy at the same time because the rules say so, then who sells? If there is no sale, then there is no trade so how can bull or bear run? Hence it seems not following the same set of rules is what moves the market. Since rules must be consistent in content, they must be logical in approach so that what moves the market is illogicality. Like punting or playing the numbers to try pot luck. The antithesis are the big institutional players who construct a rationale in order to move the market or out of it in their favor even to the extent of playing the currency to mitigate their losses.<br /><br />Next, why would individual people take such risks? They could be curious enough to follow the herd, or think they are privy to some special information, or are convinced they can see a pattern emerging. Underlying all this is the maslowian motivation to provide for the future by getting a pile of cash now prompted by not seeing anything attractive in hard-work investments. Which also begs the question of what is then the fair value that is be calculated and used as yardstick. <br /><br />In the past and here, incentives in the west moved hot money in, and people made their piles connecting contra waves spiked by upticks on the wings of privatization and corporatization. Their wealth was created by the harmonic oscillators of the market. But those halycon days are over just as the wakeup call has finally reverberated across every facet of the economy today which is further held to ransom in a no-holds-barred political stranglehold which has made short shrift of all rules of decency.<br /><br />It would be ironic if saving a political party destroys the very nation in which it is to operate but by the looks of things, that's as assured as the next fall of the ringgit.<br /><br />wallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580252352785040456noreply@blogger.com
