Hi Elliot,
If one considers the stock market, it can be clearly seen that the price of
stock fluctuates with the confidence of the brokers. Commentators know this
very well.
The confidence of brokers can be altered by the outcome of sports events!
It has been speculated that if England do well in the current World cup, for
example, then the brokers in London will feel positive about this and a
buoyancy will be generated in the markets.
Remember we are dealing with the social ramifications of money here?
The market reflects the confidence of a relatively few self serving
individuals; what sort of world is that to be living in?
I have an unnerving feeling that a huge collapse in markets may one day be
precipitated by the marriage of Brittany Spears to the wrong bloke? ;)
This cannot be regarded as in any sense social quality?
All the best,
Squonk.
