Ten years ago the Dow Jones Industrial Average first reached 10,000. For Americans, this has been a lost decade. Factor in inflation, and we are poorer today than a decade ago.
Sometimes I feel like everybody treats the market as such an abstract impersonal concept… and it is in a sense. It represents the supply and demand of money free for investing I suppose. But what about the pure heart of it - at the core of the stock market isn’t it just someone giving someone else money to do something with it in return for a portion of the hoped for profit?
