Stock Market:
Riding a Wild Bull

Nov 12, 2018

Last month, the stock market dropped like a rock. And that worried workers who had put some of their hard-earned savings in the market. Many watched online as their savings evaporated day after day.

Sure, there has been a small recovery since then. But for how long?

In fact, the stock market is a great big house of cards, built on record amounts of debt and all kinds of other corporate scams.

It’s just like a giant casino run by finance firms and banks, which seduces customers with the hope of making easy money. But in the end, the house always wins–by taking all our money–before the whole thing crumbles.
