my other fear (as an avid money saver/scrimper) is that this market could be a huge bubble as the FED keeps interests rates low thus almost forcing people to put money to work in equities rather than CD's or the bank and if those rates do rise, the market will falter as yields in blue chips wont entice like they have over past couple years.
Dont get me wrong, blue chips are place to be, but like you said, only the rich can really afford half of those big names or at least afford to put money aside into them. The middle class is on it's way out especially because of stagnant wage growth and people dropping out of looking for employment with free hand outs courtesy of you and me joe blow tax payer.
low interest rates have their pros and cons, but if it has come to people basically having their hand forced to invest into the stock market, then all this money that has flowed in since let's say DOW 11,000, big hedgies could just SELL SELL SELL and guess who loses, MOM AND POP JOE BLOW INVESTOR and trust will never come back to markets. This is what I fear. Robots, algorithms and the like already control market swings and as life becomes more digital, the more I worry. 1984 is more real now then ever, and I hope that there is never a digital currency, Bitcoin "esk" platforms are not good IMO. Cold hard cash needs to be here for the next 50 years minimum otherwise, everything can disappear into THIN AIR.
ahahahahaahhaahaha I digress
