Its part of the engine that drives the economy. We do live in a Market Economy.
If you don't believe me that think about how many people would lose their jobes of the Markets fell to half of their value tomorrow.
How many do you think?
With those people out of work, not speading money on un-necessiary things, how many others will be laid off as a result?
And so it goes... like dominoes.
