This thread clearly shows that the only person with a sharp knowledge of macroeconomics is me.

I wonder how much they'd make if they asked the people of this country for help?
I'd give them a fair bit. After all - I (like hundreds of thousands of others) wouldn't be on the property ladder if it wasn't for them.
I'm massively thankful of them.
And really, so should everyone be who's currently sitting on a stupidly over priced house!
They're a masive part of my roots too - I know a load of people who work for them, and they've given loads to the North East through various schemes and sponsorships.
I wish the country was made up of people who could see this good, rather than the utter feckless t*ssers who queued up to get their cash out.
Has no one seen Its A Wonderful Life ffs?!!!
I wish they'd ask for help - I'd gladly offer.

Originally posted by bored View PostFirst, hedge funds are not banks. Second, anyone, including individual investors, has the ability to short stocks.
Individual investors (usually) don't have the volume necessary that can influence market, but hedge funds do have the scale to do that and they do it - in effect they manipulate market to the detriment of normal non-speculative investors. Market manipulation should lead to a long jail sentence.

Originally posted by AtW View PostRight now big banks do their best to undermine world economy with their speculative efforts. Say what good purpose serves ability of hedge funds to "short" stocks to cause artificial share value decline? They should be put into prison for market manipulation and there I hope they would get a chance to do an honest day at work.
