TJ Parker, Actually the Government is just looking to give the younger class the "option" to have their money put into something other than what SS is today. They won't do it w/out consent, but if they can get the younger crowd to play along, it will offset the "sucking" sound of the money that has to come due over the next couple of years as the baby boomer era is about to retire...
Do I agree to this???
Not at all, all I'm saying that for every $1 invested in a rising market actually adds between $1 to $5 in market cap...
Let's use INTC as a small example (we could use any stock for this example)...
INTC has 6.3 billion shares outstanding...
INTC trades around 68 million shares a day...
INTC currently trades @$23...
For every dollar that INTC rises their market cap goes up 6.3 billion bucks...
Today INTC added $3.1 billion in market cap on 73 million shares...
Let's assume 40 million were "prospected buyers" (just an example)...
40 million x $23 bucks = $920 million invested...
930 million invested just added 3 billion to INTC's market cap...
So, for every $1 invested, we get a $3 return on paper, that is why I call it "paper mache"...
Of course this is just an example, and my numbers are fictional, but it is what it is...
Is = Wealth creation...
Do it in after hours and "gap ups" and it gets even easier...
