| reply to nixen 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.

2 edits | Personal spending habits have _everything_ to do with investment habits/demand....it's obvious you don't have even the slightest notion of how a modern economy works - it's pretty evident by this thread that you aren't alone in this either.

| FerricOxide pay him no attention he's just another excited kiddie that has just discovered he can become a PHD by reading wikipedia. WTF do credit cards, etc... have to do with investors pushing companies to forgo future planning (screwing the company and the investor 5 years into the future) in favor of short term rises in profit. These profit rises aren't real as the company didn't have a right to spend that money in the first place. It's kind of like a human saying he is saving money by not buying food and starving himself/herself. |

Well: let's hear it. What great secret to the economy do you actually know. Please help enlighten those of us who are apparently so in the dark.
In other words: put up or shut up.
