Instead of long term growth and stability, they want next day profits and roller coaster prices.
People will pay for good products. |

Its how the rich get richer. |

VZ isnt buying ATT, if anything ATT will buy VZ, and ATT never spends capitol. ATT buys VZ end of fios and investors will love fios ending and being fed fruity IPTV lines. |

You my friend need to reed the book THE MILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR! That is not in fact how the rich get richer on a broad scale.
The rich get richer because they have a long term vision and have the ability to deny themselves immediate gratification for a long term return.

I presume from that statement that you, and others on this board, pay cash for everything and have no debt whatsoever...that you keep a clean personal balance sheet....I mean, if you didn't and used credit cards on a regular basis...why, that would make you a hypocrite and that can't possibly be the case now could it?

Personal spending habits have far different impacts than investment habits/demands do. Me having or not having credit card, mortgage or other debt does not cause companies to forego long-term investments to meet the quarter-to-quarter demands of investors.
