This is the problem wit...Chuch Shumer is an idiot. This is the problem with deprivatizing business....people come up with silly ideas to try and save an industry. The people who can afford to invest do not do so without researching the specific investment first. If the so-called investment does not meet their standards, than they should not invest. You're right, Oni, it's not that difficult. <br /><br />The gov't wants us to think that we need them for every little thing that goes wrong in our lives. If you lose thousands of dollars due to a faulty investment, than maybe you're not qualified/smart enough to invest in the first place. It's not the company's fault you lost money....it's yours.....PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY PEOPLE!!Brandon8https://www.blogger.com/profile/17316752794496375951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22530789.post-39394767001270292102009-05-18T11:55:00.000-07:002009-05-18T11:55:00.000-07:00After almost 20 yrs of a deregulated banking indus...After almost 20 yrs of a deregulated banking industry, it seems as though we are headed into a new era of regulation. People fear capitalism because "all it is is an excuse to be greedy." I WANT TO BE GREEDY!!! This is America, if you don't like the greed, go to France. Why is the U.S. the number 1 innovator of new technologies?; why have we had the strongest economy for the past 2 decades?; how are you going to be able to fund your retirement? Greed, or as they say in Finance, "hoarding", is a fundamental American freedom that we should all participate in! Americans don't save!?!? Well maybe if the gov't stops wasting money on obsolete programs, taxing us out the wazzoo, we can start to save a little more. What's western Europe's "Savings Rate"?Brandon8https://www.blogger.com/profile/17316752794496375951noreply@blogger.com
