It wouldn't matter to him because that grand money would just be funny money.

Stocks aren't real assets - even if the company owns real assets.

What did we learn in school today?

Bubble: Any market that is rising.

Collapse: Any market that is declining.

Dead: Any market that is rising when it would have better supported some bogus
.........claim or argument if only it had been flat.

I really enjoyed that - very funny. But we've got to give Grandpa Pipes credit for one thing; he changed the word "collapse" to "oblivion". For an apostle of collapse, that shows a lot of flexibility.

Such smug morons who bury their heads in the sand on this forum. I can only read so long before I have to leave this site because Im sooooooo amazed at the stupidity here. Seriously we are done as a country. Obama supporters/Repubs makes no difference both are one in the same

Hmmm suicides are on the rise apparently because a lot of Americans see no other way out and see their futures as bleak. Lol but this is a really funny ha ha ha.

And your contention is that if people would simply accept that the US is "done as a country" the suicide rates would return to "normal"?

Or that by accepting extremist views we will be better able to deal with our problems effectively?

Or that if we simply would listen to the libertarians and abandon the less fortunate to fend for themselves, the whole thing would work itself out based on free market economics?

Symptoms of classic societal degradation that precedes any societies collapse into barbarism and anarchy.

No, it's just people realizing that you're full of it.
