[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 855034, member: 24302"] I suspect that those who can afford it have expert advice as to when to sell and when to buy back in. I'm talking about drying up a huge source of funds that will help drive prices up. We are talking about buying and selling, but the execs in corporations tend to have a large amount of stock from when they set up their corporation, or have large amounts given to them in options for performance. It isn't about constant buying and selling for them, it's getting the stock price as high as possible so that when they do decide to sell 10,000 shares out of their hundreds of thousands, even millions of shares, that they pull out as much cash as possible. If you dry up the funds available to buy those shares the price tumbles. There's a symbiotic relationship between the exec's of major corporations and the mutual funds that handle 401k's. The exec's vote to pay out a quarterly dividend from the profits, which can run from 10's of millions to hundreds of millions annually. In turn the mutual funds buy those stocks to get the dividends, and have to but alot of stock to have the dividend amount to something. This keeps the price high. A CEO with alot of stock benefits by both receiving dividends himself and the higher stock price. This is what we're working for anymore, to increase profit to get a high stock price. And too many companies are trying to find the lowest pay that they can get away with paying to enhance profits to enrich themselves. Might not be a concern for UPS drivers who get paid well and have a stake in this system. But the rest of us are getting squeezed. Frankly I don't see the States ever having the kind of economy we've had in the past as long as this continues. Some will do well, most won't, and face a future of much lower expectations.
