How bad are the stock markets when you have to start selling stock market “gift cards” at the local grocery store or home improvement center? Pretty bad, say financial experts who believe that the economic system continues to move towards critical mass.
As reported by Zero Hedge, in the “New Normal” world we currently live in, only central banks are marginal buyers of Index futures; when it comes to buying individual stocks, the companies themselves have become the largest purchasers.
That’s because long ago, after seeing 40 percent of their 401ks and other investments vanish into virtual air, retail “dumb money” folks bailed on the heels of the 2008–2009 financial meltdown characterized by the dramatic plunge of the U.S. homeowner market, “which, thanks to the Fed and Wall Street, had been supercharged and securitized,” Zero Hedge reported.
“To the extent the turmoil in September and October of 2008 didn’t drive the individual investor permanently onto the sidelines, the subsequent realization that the entire ‘market’ is nothing but a giant casino being manipulated at every turn by greedy cabals with names like ‘The Cartel’ finished the job,” he continued.
