Of course it's a scam. Knowing it's a scam is the first step to profiting from it.

This demonstrates the selfishness of the human animal..

You only care about your immediate small profits and you are blind and careless about the possibility of the system collapsing as long as you get your nut for now.

Sometimes I think that hyenas and komodo dragons have a stronger sense of morals and ethics than do these blood thirsty humans..

No, I am a worthy individual and as such, if I can make money off the stock market and even beat big dollar portfolio managers, I will do so.

Then I will spend this money in the most meticulously ethical fashion.

You have your priorities misplaced: Money is power. Being powerless is not more noble than being powerful. Being powerful AND ethical is noble, while being purposely powerless is simple stupidity.

no, money is not power.. money is a shell game that the rich play with the poor.. nothing more and nothing less.

i am explaining to you that the stock market is a huge fraud ponzi scheme, and you are saying that you will enjoy making a few bucks before the bomb blows up.

when it crashes, the facebooks already have your cash because they sold you stocks and when the value of your stocks reach such a low level that NOBODY wants to buy your stocks... you will be bankrupted.. the nation will be bankrupted.. but the facebooks and twitters and googles already have your cash.. they just ran the world's most successful ponzi scheme and they will not see a day in prison, but instead they will drive ferraris and they will rule the world like kings and queens.
