The investment game, Inflation and the cost of goods.

[amins]

Ok, finished reading the rest of the posts...

One day, Energy won't be a problem because nations will be able to sustain thier consumption through sustainable technology: nuc, wind, solar, geothermal, tidal, & hydro... Everyone will just write credit spreads on a flatlining/channeling stock and be happy w/ thier premiums.

When that day arrives, the only things to invest in will be Real Estate, Genetics (we'll all want to live longer), and Technology (gotta get into outter space so we can consume other planets and have more real estate to invest in!).

So, what else is there to invest in today that still has huge growth posibilities... bio-medical, pharma (Health-Care), and technology.... I guess you could put R&D in there, but that's the same thought pattern you guys were using earlier about investing in IPO's...

Question though about wealth & the market....

If 'Markets' (stock, forex, futures, real estate, etc) need liquidity, which is the ratio between supply & demand?, wouldn't having an educated base of investors (ie, if all of america was educated on how to invest in the stock market: how to read charts and manage risk vs reward), wouldn't that be a better thing for the overall market?

I mean, there's only 3 ways a stock can go... that's it: Up, Down, Sideways.

As for wealth, health, & relivivity, I don't think enough people remember history nor care to 'look up' from thier daily life and see how other people are living outside of their own country...we consume to much as it is, but that's just the nature of the beast: development. I just wished the assholes w/ all the money would stop killing thier livestock (ie, working class), and move on to 'Emerging Markets'... they've made enough $$$.

Capitalism and Democracy will be the underlying processes of the globe, but it'll be governed through National Identity (Socialisstic, Communistic, etc)... I dont' think Capitalism is a fair judgement of Cultural Identity (or a nations voice) because its underlying value is based on Currency: Free Market.. right? Since currency is universal, wouldn't it be better to have your nations values not on $, but on the people who make $, which in and of itself is a form of currency: ie, labour.

Socio-Capitalism? What would even be a word to describe what the underlying values of America are?

Democratic? But tha's not an ~ism...

A friend once stated, if not Capitalism, what?

Ok, my rambles done, sorry for wasting your time!
