If the Footsie is rising and strong, that means business’s are doing well. Of course the owners and shareholders benefit, but there’s a knock on effect of businesses expanding and employing more people and suppliers also getting more work, exports increasing, etc. so there’s no doubt a strong stock market benefits everyone to a greater or lesser degree. Cheers. Completely understood squire and I used to be a massive advocate and believer in the “trickle down” effect…..I’m still an advocate for it in a properly functioning, fair system. However, I don’t believe that is what we have and we haven’t had it for a good while now……what we have is akin to some kind of council estate money lender type thing going on where the borrower is forced to borrow by the system while the same system then never lets him out of the trap…..doomed to be continually poor relatively speaking and kept in servitude to “them” I remember as a young man, there was a clear path to climb free of the pit….you grafted, you earned, you kept as much as you could and you could get on…..as the years went by they chucked more and more obstacles in the way, moved the goal posts continually, a rule here, a change of legislation there, a percentage the other. Even lads who are relatively ok are still having to work massively hard to maintain parity……grafting like f**k to only inch forward or standstill. 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And 'the markets' have now become the tail that wags the dog. A totally faceless and unaccountable power that can set agendas. Look at Liz Truss's budget....the markets didn't like it, we all suffer... leading to a new prime minister that continues with the same system and agenda as before. Should a truly new party start seriously winning just watch how the 'markets' react, pushing us towards a return to the WEF agreed system 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A strong stock market and expanding economy leads to more and bigger businesses, more job opportunities, more taxes for the treasury to spend on the public services , pensions, benefits, etc for the betterment of the country and its population. A weak stock market and shrinking economy leads to bankruptcies, businesses going bust , redundancies and less taxes for the treasury. An incompetent or corrupt government doesn’t alter those facts. Its how the government chooses to spend the money from a strong economy, but if we have a weak stock market and economy, (the two are inextricably linked), the countries finances get worse and so the peoples lives and public services get worse. So, all I’m saying is a strong stock market is preferable to a weak one. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LOL ! I don’t know why I keep getting suckered into these conversation ! LOL ! Someone mentioned the stock markets were crashing and all I did was point out the irrefutable fact that the Footsie100 was doing rather well ! Maybe the “working man” isn’t doing as well as he should be, but he’d be a lot worse of with a stock market crash and an economic recession. Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
