Economics 101

[Toddsterpatriot]

How did the bank bigwigs, for example, benefit when their stock positions tanked?

When others lose what they have, those who retain what they have, and even expand on what they have, have acquired greater value compared to others.

Wealthy people own a lot of stock. Did they benefit when the S&P dropped 50%?
Did they benefit when the stocks they owned cut their dividends?
Did that help them retain what they have?

See my prior post.
If you can't figure out how Directors always retain the status quo, I suggest asking the nurses at the Nursing Home to put more Iron supplements into your farina.

I saw your prior post. Still waiting for an answer that makes sense.

What wealth do you feel increases in a depression? Any specifics?

You no longer get to bullshit on this forum.
If you have 100 like everyone else and then everyone else has 25, your 100 have become more valuable.
Not to mention that most Directors know what's going to happen months before it happens and so make contingencies to cash in on economic slumps.
You know, like how Warren Buffet made a fortune from the 2008 crash that he caused.

If you have 100 like everyone else and then everyone else has 25, your 100 have become more valuable.

What the fuck are you mumbling about now?

Not to mention that most Directors know what's going to happen months before it happens and so make contingencies to cash in on economic slumps.

How'd that work out for Dick Fuld and Jimmy Cayne? Durr.

You know, like how Warren Buffet made a fortune from the 2008 crash that he caused.

He's a liberal twat, but he didn't cause the 2008 crash.

I KNEW you were going to mention Fuld...one of only SEVEN CEOs to pay for that they did.

Warren Buffet DID cause the crash.
I'll have to wait to talk to my friend from Goldman-Sachs about the details.

I KNEW you were going to mention Fuld...

He wasn't a Director who knew months ahead of time, he was the fucking CEO, why didn't he know years ahead of time? Why didn't Jimmy Cayne? All the Bear Stearns Directors? LOL!

What about every other CEO or officer that held stock in their firm?
They all lost money when their stocks tanked.

Exactly! Fuld was a CEO and I said "Directors"!
So WHY did you post FULD?
I was waiting for you to post vacuous bullshit and you DID!
And I even let you slip on that because I'm a nice guy.
And you know full well why Bear-Stearns was, as my friend says, assassinated.

CEOs are paid to take the kick in the ass when things go awry.
Eliot Spitzer would only go after CEOs, never Directors.

Still haven't caught on.

Based on your liberal idiocy, it was a perfect response.

During a depression, a rich guy's stock tanks, the value of his mansion tanks and the interest he might earn on his cash also tanks.

It's safe to say that rich guys really don't hope for a depression.
Feel free to post statements from rich guys who claim they do.

guys love depressions.

Buffett probably didn't sell any of his shares at the bottom, but to claim he benefits, or celebrates, when his stock drops 40% is beyond moronic. Not beyond you though. Derp.

Pay attention liberals. This is Economics 101 and Business Fundamentals all in one...

Why are so many workers struggling today?

Some union-backed analysts have a straightforward answer: “Their employers are cheating them.” They claim businesses no longer compensate workers for their productivity. This argument demonstrates H.L. Mencken’s point that “for every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.”

Competition forces employers to base pay on productivity. Firms that consistently pay workers more than they produce go out of business, as Bethlehem Steel famously demonstrated. But firms that underpay their employees also don’t last long.

Imagine a firm that tried paying some employees just half of what they produce. A competitor could reap large profits by hiring away those productive workers for slightly more. But then another competitor would offer even higher pay. Competition quickly bids up workers’ pay to their productivity level. To keep good employees, businesses must pay them commensurately with their productivity.

This explains why over 95% of Americans make more than the minimum wage. Federal law does not require employers to pay above $7.25 an hour. Economic laws do. A company that wants a quality workforce has to pay for it.
