Stef - listen to me!! - I know when your making these video's you're probably sometimes frustrated thinking, 'well, who cares??' - just remember that your videos are very, very important to me, and no one i knows is explaining problems that are so relevent so clearly - i think youtube was designed or is at least best suited precisely for people like you to educate people like me - thanks. Keep it up.

"The socialization of risk, and the privatization of profit."

Wow, hit the nail right on the head.

I'm really glad you pointed out that selective tax breaks are a form of government privilege. So many right-libertarians treat all tax breaks as smaller government, not realizing that the government can use tax breaks to give certain advantages to certain people.

LEGIT QUESTION !!!

Wouldn't the biggest factor in increased turnover in the US stock market be from foreign investement ??

[leopodstanicky]

I like this very clear-cut analysis - problem is that US have thousands of economists who are used for to get us all in trouble - what can we do about it? Yes, nothing. But a very good vid indeed thx leo

Maybe it's just my ignorance in the subject, but couldn't the problem with futures be solved tomorrow if you couldn't cash out your futures? If you could only trade the future value for what the future is for? For example, if you bought $500 in wheat futures, then it later became worth $750 and you wanted to cash out, you had to go home with $750 worth of wheat rather than cash?

My GOD Stef, if I only watched this video 2 years ago I could have saved so much money. Fortunately I`m still young and I`m still working :-)

@BenettFreeman Madness is the lack of risk-adjusted values in the stock market under the clearinghouses.

[BenettFreeman]

Yes legislation and monetary policy have distorted the stock market, but fundamentally the stock market is complete and utter madness. The idea that someone can create tangible, real values for himself purely by the exchange of remote values on behalf of people they will never meet, is f-ing bonkers

[BenettFreeman]

Yes legislation and monetary policy have distorted the stock market, but fundamentally the stock market is complete and utter madness. The idea that someone could work as a "trader" in non-realtime commodities is completely anathema to rational life
