MEET AMERICA’S MIDDLE CLASS – THE SUCKERS BUYI

MEET AMERICA’S MIDDLE CLASS – THE SUCKERS BUYING THE COWS

In between the destitute and the affluent is a forsaken middle class that is too “well-off” to receive Government aid but not nearly wealthy enough to get in on the Wall Street freebies like hot IPOs, death spirals , and let’s not forget those bailouts.

These folks in the middle are just your average Americans, buying the cows and supplying the milk. They are the people struggling to save for retirement and longing for the double digit returns they were collecting back in the days when companies went public prior to major growth spurts and interest rates weren’t regularly being reduced to satisfy political agendas. These “middletons” are also America’s 27.9M small business owners willing to provide meaty returns in exchange for the expansion capital that would allow them to bring products to consumers and jobs to the underemployed.

Now, if only those Americans starving for yield were allowed to invest in those emerging growth companies desperate to replace the capital that the banks and public stock exchanges are no longer willing or able to provide.

If only we didn’t have impractical securities rules that prohibit the majority of Americans from investing their OWN money into private growth companies.

If only those middle class Americans weren’t confined to investing in conventional assets like publicly-traded stocks, bonds and mutual funds where appreciation has been hindered by the annihilation of small-cap IPOs and ineffectual monetary policies that keep interest rates low and the dollar devalued.

If only all Americans were granted the same investing freedoms.

If only I can stop myself from starting sentences with the phrase, “ if only” .

If only.
