  1. Anyone notice that as soon as stock markets became available to everyone, private equity markets exploded in size?

  2. Fund managers may be doing investors a favor not letting them sell when they're making good money. Fools are always in a hurry to get richer than they already are.

  3. And goons insist this year's real estate volatility benefited the crooked rich. Seriously, I had one lady in my face literally about this.

  4. This isn't a retirement fund and a lot of buyers are institutions

  16. @the1beard  That’s silly. Most buildings around here are original to the cities. As in they've never been replaced. All but a handful of buildings where I'm from were built 1870-1970 when this area was settled.

  17. @the1beard  not if you've ever been to a civilized country. In this country you can identify the age of a neighborhood by the building style. Brick buildings that fill up the whole plot they are built upon were built in the old west days before the railroads. People instead sourced bricks locally. Many townhouses are so old that they have posts with a steel ring by the road for hitching horses because they predate the car. You remember the World Trade Center? The building hit in 9/11? That building couldn't withstand a jet plane impact because it predated the invention of the jet plane, and instead was rated against an accidental crash by the biggest plane in existence in the 1940s. The reason there are so many newish buildings is because this region is still being settled and has continuously received migrants since the Jamestown colony. 200 years ago, most of the US was completely uninhabited.

  19.  @gladlawson61  not exactly. The formalized markets were reserved for professions and those who could afford to pay a professional to fetch them a given stock. Ordinary people bought stocks literally over the counter from businesses and from street vendors. That ended during regulatory crackdowns during the Great Depression, so it was only a relatively brief period where all markets were professional
