I agree. Seems to me that the ways of making big, fast, bucks are over. The computer boom was the last big spree. You can still start up a business making better mousetraps but you aren't going to get super rich, or even rich quickly...hence you get Enron and World Com and financial shenanigans...including war..and most recently, the prison-industrial complex.

The stock market is one giant Ponzi Scam. People are encouraged to pour money into it...mostly by following the "advice" of financial "experts" and such places as CNBC and its wildly dishonest "business news". Like the people and firms that touted Madoff, these "experts", supposedly reporting "news", chat up the market...doesn't matter WHICH stocks...just as it doesn't matter whether you play the roulette wheel or the craps table or the slot machines...you will eventually lose everything...and the "winnings" anyone gets come only from the losses of other suckers such as yourself.

Being pleased that the market is active again is like being happy to hear that more people are going to Casinos...sure, a few will win, but the majority will be wiped out and any profits merely come their loses, not the casino's...and a few MUST win or no one will go to casinos, ever. It's hardly a positive sign to hear that even more people are gambling in the casinos...it's great news for the owners of casinos but bad news for wives and children of gamblers...also for the community as a whole.

Mad-money capitalism may be nearing its demise. Humans have to find another way and reason to live than turning everything they touch to profit, including war...and now INSTANT and GREAT profit....the winnings only come from our mutual losses. Just as the bail-out and bonus money for these ultimate losers comes from our hard-earned wages and not their "acumen".
