    The stock market is not owned by some elite group. Most of it is ordinary people's investments and pension funds.

    It's us that profit when markets do well and it's us that suffer when markets do badly. It's us that benefit indirectly through job creation and opportunity when it's doing well.

    Elites couldn't care less whether markets go up or down. If they think it's going to go down they just sell the market short, get back in cheap at the bottom, and ride it right back up again. The most powerful players love an economic depression because they know they can survive but their small competitors can't. When the dust settles they increase their market share and come back stronger than ever. This post was edited by Zeitgeist at October 26, 2017 2:13 PM MDT

    My IRA. The shares I hold in a NASDAQ composite fund are up more than 20% since I purchased them on 1/20/17.
