    It’s amazing how many people don’t understand this. Prices go up for a long time and almost never come down after because that would lead to losses and a stock dive. But the narrative is that it’s greed. It’s not bloody greed, it’s Capitalism’s process. Want that to change, stop putting money in the stock market.

      Why’d you say the same thing twice?

      I’d love to, but I have 2 locked-in RRSPs that can only be invested in the stock market (from former jobs). It pisses me off to no end that I have exactly zero control over them … and have just (in the past 2 years) gained what I lost in the 2008 crash.

      Fuck Wall St and fuck jobs that force me into the stock market.

        Oh I hear you. My 401k and rollovers are in the market. If you want to make any kind of money you don’t really have a choice.
