All buying of stocks should be banned

[wayneL]

*If you buy a stock, it lets someone else sell.

*Buying causes prices to rise and makes people sell to get a profit

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY - If buying was banned, it would permanently stop short selling, because a short seller has to sell to a buyer.

Support my campaign, BAN BUYING!

I'll support it 110% Wayne, I totally agree.

In fact i would go so far as to say that all buying should be banned, but the prices should be moved up occasionally so those still holding ALWAYS make a paper profit.

We have to ban the buying of food too, it's causing inflation.

 

[dhukka]

Yeah lets do away with buying and selling. Get the governemnt to allocate a portfolio of shares to each taxpayer. Then every year the portfolio is revaluated upwards (regardless of whether company profits increase or decrease), by the rate of inflation plus 5%. If a company goes bankrupt it doesn't matter, the government steps in buys the assets and spins it out with a diffferent name. In fact lets ban the work bankrupt, decrease, decline, and recession while we're at it.

I also think that as intelligent thought is clearly in decline, we may as well ban that too.

Sounds good! I did so today to a disgraceful extent at the Royal Berkshire Show.

And let's ban all business. Without business there wouldn't be any economic downturns, or anything that needed to be bailed out!
