*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.
 
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.

'cept some here clearly want to ban humour as well.
 
And let's ban all business. Without business there wouldn't be any economic downturns, or anything that needed to be bailed out!

Good point. LOL

Let's ban negative numbers as well. That's the only reason companies go broke.

Agree, lets try this, the US Government seems to think it will work.

I feel like they should ban selling in general.

One directional flow of cash please !

And besides, selling is Un-Australian. :
