Reply #54: It is their fault tho.....

[MsTryska]

that's the part you're not getting.


it's your fault when you don't educate yourself before taking risks.


it's your fault for thinking you can somehow beat the market.


it's your fault for not re-arranging when things don't go as planned and minimizing damage.


all of that rests on no one but you.

Who would you have be responsible for these msitakes? the companies? they've got their own issues. the market itself? it's an unthinking unpredictable beast. the president? he's not putting these people's money in the markets (well not yet anyways) they are.


by taking accountability away from people all you do is weaken them.

the stock market is a risk. It's meant to be played as a managed risk, because of the rewards that come with it. if you don't understand that it's risky and that soem days you win, some days you lose, you have no business being in it. And you will get fleeced.
