This sounds mildly interesting, but you make a lot of grand claims and support none of them. I would love to read about your concerns more deeply in a longform, where all these ideas can actually be related to one another, and with support for your claims based in data and real world examples. I would suggest you do this for your own mental health, because it's not at all clear to me why the world of (let's call it) 'socialized investing' is a better world than our current one. And I think you should at least have a well research model to base your concerns in before they "dominate your psyche."
- fogetti 7y agoWell then maybe you should do the same thing first to set an example? Because what the OP describes is actually pretty much real. I would suggest you to check out Guy Standing and his research first.
- kolbe 7y agoOP is very specific behavior by one bank. What about Softbank marking up its own assets has anything to do with the idea that an investment philosophy spread out among thousands of times more people but with less money is even remotely covered in the article?
- domnomnom 7y agoYeah dude I’ll get right on that research paper you’d obviously like to see and skip spending time with my family on thanksgiving. (That’s what you’re essentially suggesting isn’t it?)
- kolbe 7y agoIt's more that the ideas seem pretty far fetched. And if you're about to quit your job over these ideas, my bet is that your family would prefer you to do the research instead of eating thanksgiving dinner.
- ShroudedNight 7y agoMaybe I'm missing something, but this article that was well-received yesterday seems surprisingly apt: https://americanaffairsjournal.org/2019/11/the-real-class-war/ https://americanaffairsjournal.org/2019/11/the-real-class-wa...
