By: Panpiper. on 28 May 12, 11:47:03
Leaving? aside the almost 50% of the whole of the economy's resources being commandeered by government (all branches), and the gargantuan micromanagement through regulation and mismanagement through idiotic meddling with market mechanisms, the fact that half of every transaction is money and that mechanism is utterly within the fiat of government, I dare say that "centrally planned" is an apt term for our economy. The fact that a few failed countries did even more of it is not in your favor.

By: theredscourge. on 28 May 12, 09:05:56
Ah, good, more Friedman. It's odd that that many people ignore his Nobel Prize for proving that the Fed caused the great depression and the federal government prolonged it. They often insist that WW2 brought the US out of recession, but at? the same time admit that even the victors in Europe of WW1 were made poorer. This is an obvious contradiction. Making yourself poor and others poorer just can't end a recession. Friedman's explanation just doesn't contain such contradictions, yet gets ignored.

By: BRYAN351. on 28 May 12, 01:22:23
Well, geopolitical events in 1980 increased the demand for gold, so like? any commodity, the price went up as well. Gold isn't perfect, but consider this...gold's value will NEVER go to zero, but the dollar could some day. G. Edward Griffin said this about gold. 2000 years ago, 1 ounce of gold would buy a quality toga, a leather belt, and a nice pair of sandals. Today, 1 ounce of gold will buy a quality suit, a leather belt, and a nice pair of shoes. The value of gold has remained constant.

By: gshooting. on 28 May 12, 00:59:17
If gold were an inflation barometer why did? the inflation adjusted price of gold fall from almost $1850 in 1980 to $352 in 2001? Over that time period 21 years, it lost over 80% of its value. So today, gold is well below its inflation adjusted price of the early 80's. Gold is NOT an inflation hedge, it's a CRISIS hedge.

By: BRYAN351. on 27 May 12, 22:14:59
While the monetary system may be better off, OFF the gold standard (for the reasons spelled out by Bill Still in his film THE MONEY MASTERS), please tell me why owning gold is not a good hedge against inflation. This I gotta hear. Name any other investments that have increased in price as much? as gold has in the past decade. I said increased in "price," not value, because the value of gold has pretty much remained the same, but the value of the DOLLAR has plummeted due to inflation.

By: gshooting. on 27 May 12, 21:58:12
Look here, infant, I was right, nothing? you said refuted that. Gold is pretty and is used in some electric circuits, so what? It isn't a good inflation hedge and everyone is better off, OFF the gold standard.

By: BRYAN351. on 27 May 12, 21:53:51
Look butthole, you said the Fed doesn't print money, so I made sure we were on the same page. And, you definitely don't know what "intrinsic value" means. Gold, whether you're for a gold standard or not (I'm not), has intrinsic value because it is: 1) Rare. 2) Highly malleable (can be shaped easily). 3) Beautiful. 4) A very good electrical? conductor. 5) The ONLY metal that never corrodes.

By: gshooting. on 27 May 12, 21:43:11

By: BRYAN351. on 27 May 12, 21:24:58
The Fed pays a printing fee to the treasury, who prints their "Federal Reserve Notes" for them. It's like if you hired a print shop to print business cards for you.? You didn't print the cards yourself, but they're still your cards. Understand? If you don't have access to American paper money, being in the UK, let me clue you in. American paper money says "FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE" on the front/top part of the bill. Gold does have intrinsic value, which is why it costs $1573 per ounce. Hellooo.

By: Keeban3. on 27 May 12, 20:59:43
We were already the number one economy during the 1890's. But yes you are absolutely right that a good deal of our success comes from Europe destroying itself, but that makes it? a bit more nuanced position. I was simply replying to someone who said "Gold failed" as if it was obvious and everyone knew it. And while the gold standard has problems, we were very successful while we had it.

Ah of course. Gold ...
By: Keeban3. on 27 May 12, 20:54:03
Ah of course. Gold is bad, so any evidence that gold is good simply means that it would have been paradise without gold. And how do we know this? Why, because gold is bad of course. Mortgages cause housing prices to go up. ? Student loans cause college prices to go up. Farm loans cause land prices to go up. The mortgage didn't build the house, the loans didn't build the school or till the land. Simple supply and demand. Either think more, or talk less.

By: Panpiper. on 27 May 12, 20:48:01

By: gshooting. on 27 May 12, 20:33:57
I never said that the public rejected gold. Stop bringing up strawmen. I said that the public rightly rejects anyone who wants to deliberately increase the size of their mortgages and thus make them slaves to debt. The government doesn't have a problem paying off its debt, because the majority of its debt is in dollars. They can just print it off to pay it. Governments around the world? rejected because it was constricting the money supply and therefore growth.

By: gshooting. on 27 May 12, 20:30:14
America grew to be the? number 1 economy DESPITE being on the gold standard, not BECAUSE of it. You've got to stop thinking that gold has some mystical intrinsic value. IT DOES NOT. Do you even know what mortgages are for? The vast majority of people cannot afford to buy a good house outright. What do you want them to do? Live in mud huts?

By: TheKordane. on 28 May 12, 07:59:46
I know it doesn't provide objective law, but it should do, because objective law is the primary reason why we let government run the army, police and court system (all of which require retaliatory force), rather than allow private armies, private police forces and private courts. Objective law allows individuals to know, before taking any action, what conduct is illegal, why it is forbidden, and what will be the penalty for violation. Subjective law is murky, ambiguous, undefineable,? dangerous.

By: Frodnonag. on 25 May 12, 20:52:31
Well, then we are on the same page. I happen to lean more towards anarcho-capitalism in my personal views, but I would never advocate to infringe on other people's right to live under a government if that was what they voluntarily chose. In turn I would expect the same respect for my rights, including my right to defend myself or hire someone other than government to protect? my body and property. Thus libertarian anarchists could in theory secede from the US and found Free America or something.

By: TheKordane. on 25 May 12, 20:40:28
The ONLY kind of capitalism is the completely unregulated kind. If any government regulations existed then it would NOT be capitalism - It would be a "mixed economy", which? is the dominant political-economic system in the world today. Under Capitalism, the government does one thing and one thing only: Protect individual rights. It does that by running the army, the police and the court system - All under an objective rule of law. Capitalism has sadly never existed. The US came closest though.

I'm fine with that, ...
By: TheKordane. on 25 May 12, 20:36:01
I'm fine with that, so long as they don't violate the individual rights of those who do want a government to protect those rights. The reason we have a government to protect individual rights, rather than private means, is because we need an objective rule of law. No other means, other than a government, has ever been invented to provide that. Anarchy wouldn't last long, since a government (of some form; of which there are many) would occupy the vacuum? that is created. Anarchy is a fantasy.

By: MrHamncheez. on 25 May 12, 18:41:42

By: Frodnonag. on 25 May 12, 15:37:42
I agree. I wonder, however, do you support the individual's right to select someone? other than government to protect themselves? Or put differently: do you support the individual (or group of individuals with similar views) to secede from the US gov't and create their own government or perhaps even choosing to live completely without gov't and rely solely on private protection firms for protection - i.e. people choosing to live in capitalist anarchy?

By: intercourseman69. on 25 May 12, 11:58:56
The commerce clause To maintain and regulate commerce between the states: To make commerce a regular occurrence, thus keeping ties between the states more peaceable and cooperative. This has NOTHING to do with catalytic converters on cars, standards on beta-blockers,? tobacco subsidies, etc. If you think regulation means arbitrary controls from centralized sources of power that are saturated with corruption and deceit, then you are not just delusional, you are outright brainwashed.

That's true, but ...
By: TheKordane. on 25 May 12, 06:09:59
That's true, but they need to demagogue the issue, lest rational minds prevail. Stirring people's emotions with tales of big bad companies killing their customers (even though it's unprofitable to do so, and would open them to being? sued and/or imprisoned) is conducive to their statist agenda, and will undoubtedly gain them supporters who are swayed by emotion, rather than by reason.

Typically, in England, a local authority sells land, or other assets, it thinks it owns because one hundred or so years ago a landowner bequeathed, for the common good, a parcel his ancestor had bought or won from someone who had married the heiress of a descendant of a courtier who had served a retainer of the Conqueror, who rewarded his followers with land he'd seized from those who had it from a king who ... and so on and on.

Sell off what you will but when those who sell what you want to buy know that you'll spend? the proceeds of that sale on their products they'll 'adjust' their prices accordingly. The only way to end the welfare ponzi scheme is to convince those receiving welfare that their best interests are served by freeing their great great great grandchildren of the debt repayment burden current policies are creating. Everyone younger than 86 should resign himself to some discomfort in old age.

As a theist I deeply disagree with Any Rand philosophically but fortunately you don't need to be an atheist to notice that every once in a while she had a point.

You've got it all backwards. I am not claiming that one has to value the achievement of others over one's own. That is entirely your conjecture. I am? saying that the selfish man will receive psychic satisfaction from helping another achieve - which can only be done through the achievement of the selfish man himself (i.e. a teacher successfully teaching his pupil). This applies not only to other humans but to things - e.g. Roark's architecture and Galt's physics.

By: Keeban3. on 24 May 12, 20:35:39
So a rationally selfish man will altruistically give up his time to train children even though there is no reward in it for himself because as soon as they are trained and productive, they leave (and this altruism becomes selfish because... oh because he values achievement?). If you value the achievement of others above your own, you aren't selfish. Think of all the achievement of others a selfish? man could achieve by giving away all his money and starving to death himself. Cheers! To irony!

The key thing to understand is that laws are legislation which are enacted for the protection of individual rights.

By: MrApplewine. on 19 May 12, 15:22:12
There should be separation of economics and state. A term for this is often "capitalism" or "laissez faire capitalism" (meaning hands off). So, basically, capitalism means no? regulations. So, it is not semantically valid to talk about regulations on capitalism. The definition of "regulations" is important. Regulations are understood to mean among advocates of capitalism to be essentially diktats, or anti-laws which are put into legislation. Capitalism has laws, it is the opposite of anarchy.

When do you think Capitalism should be regulated? What are the complexities of the human factors involved in the system? I think it should only be regulated? in regards to property rights (which is inherent in a capitalist system) and the protection of essential environmental resources, particularly water and air. Other than that, I don't see the need for any other intervention. When intervention are "required", the officials always provide a reason for it, but they never admit their role in it.

That's how so many people saw it coming years in advance but the keynesian economists said it would be fine and the? government rarely listens to the naysayers.

In public, being filmed? is not a privacy issue. I'd argue government does it all the time, from police on the ground, to satellites. It's not an attempt by the government to install an Orwellian State. And nothing but lies came out of Judge's mouth! H.R.658, Subtitle B, read it, and then tell me no one voted for it and that it was some bureaucrat with Obama. 224 REP in the house voted Yay, while 24 DEM voted? Yay.

L. Neil Smith believes property rights are absolute. Look up "Down with Power" by L. Neil Smith and read the chapter "The Myth of Animal Rights". I personally believe we shouldn't torture animals because to do so would corrupt our? own morality but animals, of course, have no Constitutional rights. You should also look up 20/20 SPCA or Cruelty to Pet Owners. They are confiscating people's animals right and left then selling them or killing them without due process for so much as matted hair.

Wayne Pacelle, President of the Humane Society of the United? States, is a registered lobbyist. Their 501 tax exemption should be revoked.

It can be done, but probably not by any one ranch.

By: dlstb. on 16 May 12, 12:23:33
after that initial decade, your herd would gain about a breeding female per year? and your herd would then begin to explode in population as much as an elephant herd can explode in population. Oh, and your equating elephant breeding to human breeding begs me to bring up the fact that for quite a while, human breeding was practiced in this nation with great "success". Disclaimer, I am a Libertarian and opposed to slavery, however, the idea that elephant breeding is infeasible is wrong.

By: dlstb. on 16 May 12, 12:20:30
True, true. But how would this differ from the lag in a business such as tree farming? It takes decades to build a good orchard from which you can propagate enough trees or harvest enough fruit to make an orchard worthwhile, but people do it. And don't forget that the growth of a? herd is geometric. if you have 2 breeding elephants to start, by the end of a decade (5 breeding cycles) you could have up to 10 elephants. And that is taking into account that elephants don't mature for ~10 years.

By: dlstb. on 16 May 12, 12:14:04
They have stated that many times over. In fact, PETA believes that pets? are slaves and they would rather see all dogs and cats die than for them to be pets. There is proof of this in the fact that vast majority of animals "rescued" by PETA are euthanized every year. People in your local humane society might have a better understanding than anyone in PETA / ALF.

Yes, I'm gonna? have to give you that one, it looks like my statement was not that thought through to begin with, no point defending it any further :/ But I don't know that the general populace are mostly motivated by profit either. As a tangent: It might be that the motivational value of money dissipates more the more basic necessities are covered, just an idea. I'm from Norway and so my thoughts are colored by a government safety net, and there not really being any major financial risks.

characteristics observed from your experiences are a general characteristic. It potentially could have just been an anomaly.

By: LeonTheLiberal. on 18 May 12, 15:27:25
What I? mean was there is no way of determining on an individual level who is in it for more than money or how much money plays a role in their employment decision. Even if you were to survey them, they might just misrepresent themselves, their are a lot of potential cognitive biases that would suggest they might. If you also admit that your evidence is anecdotal, it doesn't make sense to extrapolate that over a population. It would make more sense to say you don't know than to assume the same...

By: cl1mbat1ze. on 18 May 12, 08:52:16
Part 2: there is a higher representation of people withing the sciences that are not AS motivated by money as certain other disciplines. I could be wrong, I don't think I am, but I do have only a small sample group within a relatively narrowly defined area. I don't have any studies? to back it up, though, so there might be no point in continuing this discussion.

part 1: Not a ...
By: cl1mbat1ze. on 18 May 12, 08:52:06
part 1: Not a pedestal. Being motivated more by something else than profit is still human frailty, right? I'm also not saying that everyone else is motivated by? profit except these exceptional angels. Keep in mind that this is also just my opinion, and it is based on my experiences. Since the people I know that work within science are more motivated by the fulfillment of their work instead of money than other people I know, it is logical for me to assume that at the very least:

I would agree that the current system is not that free and this is the point. Instead of moving towards freedom (which we know works) we move towards centralized control (which we know doesn't? work).

By: cl1mbat1ze. on 16 May 12, 07:37:01
Yes, but this process does not need the profit motivation to function. And mainly is not driven by it? now. The market relies on science much more than science relies on the market. Battling for funds often takes away focus from basic science, for instance, because the gains are unclear and long term. Yet basic science is extremely important. That may be a digression, though.

By: ostralopithicus. on 15 May 12, 03:23:14
This is confusing free market capitalism with the cronyism and oligopoly system we have now.? Currently some big drug companies do shelf cures. I was in this industry and I've personally witnessed it. However, in a free market a company would produce the cure as if they didn't then someone else would and they'd be out of business. Never forget the power of competition in a truly free marketplace to keep businesses in check.

Cures for diseases cause drug companies to shut down overnight. Cures are bad for business.

There is another Friedman video on this channel somewhere (can't remember which one at the moment) where Friedman pointed out that if all the money being spent by the Govt on the poor actually ended up in the hands of the poor, then the poor would be rich. In other words, someone (i.e. govt workers) is taking a big chunk out of that money being spent on the poor. Marginal benefits are irrelevant. Govt works on categorical benefits.

By: p00Iman. on 16 May 12, 19:53:17
Don't? forget this was back in the 1960's, and I think it's 72% of administrative costs not that administrative costs themselves were 72% of the budget. So if the total budget was $100 but administrative was $20, then the negative income tax would have saved $14.80 to make administrative costs $5.20.

In the most simple ...
By: p00Iman. on 16 May 12, 19:20:10
In the most simple explanation you eliminate the welfare state by eliminating the incentives? for people to be on welfare. One way would be to have better incentives, like working which would mean high rate of employment. Another would be through private charities. However, both of these options are undercut by government that takes money that would have created jobs and/or been used for charities are instead used on welfare. So in the final conclusion, smaller government is the ultimate goal.

By: dumky. on 15 May 12, 02:44:41
I agree. But the negative income tax is still interesting in one way: if you're going to have a welfare state (and therefore taxation), benefits in cash are more efficient and flexible than benefits in kind. Instead of having bureaucrats and rules for housing, food stamps, unemployment benefits, etc, you only need the IRS to dispatch checks. A side effect is that you don't? need political decision to balance those agencies, each recipient makes trade-offs (spend more or less on housing).

We went 137 years with no income tax. Article 1 section 9 - "No Capitation, or other direct, Tax shall be laid, unless in Proportion to the Census or Enumeration herein before directed to be taken." That makes it Legal to have an income tax, but impossible because it must be the same for everyone, and nobody would vote for anyone trying to do that.

Most colleges/universities in the US are? private institutions. As such, they have every right to restrict speech within it's premises, and the US constitution doesn't apply to them at all. It's true that they receive a lot of tax money from the State, mostly through State guaranteed student loans, but this doesn't qualify them as State institutions. Get rid of the State involvement in schools at all levels, and you don't have these problems anymore.

Was it the money of the civilization before that failed or something else? You're getting the two confused. It follows that if one civilization or form of government falls to another, so will its monetary system, but not because the monetary system was a failure on its own. The civilization was.? And if you seriously cannot discern the illegitimacy of the claims made in that so-called documentary, then I will not waste my time here trying to convince you of the truth, because you cannot see it.

You're making me laugh. Also, yes, I know how the money nowadays is created out of debt, but it's because of banks and the Federal Reserve making it so, not? because all money throughout history has been created out of debt at all times. From these posts I see you are a confused individual.

You can learn a lot about someone just by simply seeing what way they use words and what they have to say, for instance if you were a troll it would show that your either dishonest or ignorant, the? only way I can be wrong about your views is if you didn't mention them or give hints, or if I misunderstood the information, I use to refer to myself as a libertarian then I realised I can just think for myself and I started thinking outside the box. Money is treated better than people in society.

By: Tethloach1. on 13 May 12, 03:47:50
money is suppose to be a substitute for bartering, well when you switch over to money it's no longer just a median of exchange like so many economist claim, now the value is no longer in the goods but rather the money, wall street is all the proof I need, money is a commodity, when you? place the value on an object rather than the good the goal now is to acquire failure to do so results in poverty.

Do you think outside the box? if not than I stand corrected, laws are made because government fails to deal with problems, we have to solve problems not just say let's leave it up to Ron Paul.

If you have some, then let's hear it. 2) Also, saying that I don't think for myself is rather absurd, since you don't know me and don't even have an inkling of what I really think. I'm just a username on a computer screen to you. It would be equally absurd for me to say I know things about you and that you don't think? for yourself - an unfounded charge, as this is. 3) I'm not a man.

The minions of big government will do everything in their power to selectively limit free speech of those who wish to turn the system upside down and give power back to individual. If everyone is productive and self reliant how would bureaucrats make a living? They'd have to find ways to provide a good or service others would voluntarily buy. Taking money by force and using coercion to regulate lives of others is the easy but immoral way.

Jesus is coming again and the signs of the end times that were foretold in the Bible are coming to pass.

You'll be hard pressed to find more than a few exceptions. Monopolies arise almost exclusively due to government privilege, either by lobbying for tariffs, licensing or other regulations that hinder small companies from getting a foot in the market. That is truly unfair. In a free market the government doesn't pick winners or losers. :)

By: uk4twenty. on 04 May 12, 06:11:40
It is not a problem of who builds the rail but how best to use up resources. There is no point in spending millions? in running parallel rail lines if trains are operating at half capacity. The environmental damage alone would cause big problems. The situation you have described of renting the tracks is indeed the best option. The UK Govt does this by offering franchising rights to the most competitive firms. My point is that an unregulated market would either be wasteful or unfair (a monopoly).

It's an assumption ...
By: LeonTheLiberal. on 04 May 12, 06:03:12
It's an assumption made with little to no evidence to support it. There has been the successful construction of rail networks. Such ventures are very capital intensive. It would have? taken a lot of investors coming together in order to create the infrastructure, doable, but most likely not something to be replicated on a large basis. Competition among these kinds of firms would be a good thing too. Driving down the costs of these type of essential services is what improves life for all.

By: DanWithACunningPlan. on 04 May 12, 05:51:33
I? don't mean to butt in on the discussion, just happened to read the comment and was interested. Why is it a problem to have more rail? Usually governments always say "we need more and better infrastructure". Does it really matter then who builds it? Or, a compromise would be that the government lays down the infrastructure (the rail) and private railroad companies rent time on it and compete to provide the best service. This would be analogous to companies renting out space at a shopping mall.

I'm not sure what ...
By: uk4twenty. on 04 May 12, 05:34:06
I'm not sure what you're? getting at? How could it be a fiction? Lets take the example of the UK rail network. If unregulated private industry was allowed to make all rail provisions it would lead to a situation where multiple firms are laying down side by side railway tracks in order to compete for consumers. This is clearly a inefficient use of resources as it requires the duplication of infrastructure. Therefore it is necessary for Govt. to intervene in order to correct any market failure.

By: LeonTheLiberal. on 04 May 12, 03:52:17
It all depends on what end they want. If it can be proven that particular means are in-congruent with? the attainment of particular ends then there should be an adjustment to either the ends that are to be attained or an adjustment in the means to be applied in order to attain the wanted ends. If people do not have an understanding of this then it is hard to call them irrational, because they are making judgements based upon their limited understanding.

By: uk4twenty. on 04 May 12, 00:17:27
Depends what you mean by successful, if you mean that they commonly fell short of achieving allocative efficiency then i guess you're right... Private companies have no obligations to supply anywhere other than where there is profit to be made. Lets not? forget that lots of successful privatization contracts are bound by some form of regulation or franchising conditions.

By: uk4twenty. on 04 May 12, 00:09:54
Would you like to elaborate on that point? Private firms are rarely ever efficient outside of a perfect market. Not to mention? that total laissez-faire economics completely disregards the natural monopoly argument... There are many cases where profit incentive is simply non existent and so Government is needed to make the necessary provisions.

By: uk4twenty. on 04 May 12, 00:03:42
Agreed, i'm all for cutting red tape and bureaucracy.? I just dislike the way the neo-liberals of today assume everything is so cut and dried that they don't bother to apply any rational economic thought. The comments on these types of videos serve only to demonstrate that most people who consider themselves 'liberals' are just using the term so they can scapegoat government for all their problems. This is why real liberals tend to get a bad rep.

By: uk4twenty. on 03 May 12, 23:52:52
What's? that got to do with what is being advocated? A bad policy is bad no matter if it comes from a liberal, a conservative or anyone else. If you'd cared to ask you would know that i am indeed a liberal. That being said it does not mean i have to blindly follow the liberal ideology. If you are familiar with the works of Milton Friedman (also a liberal), you will also be aware that Government intervention is necessary to ensure the successful running of an economy. Think of natural monopolies.

Most of those pirated flicks are done overseas anyways. They aren't doing anything but invading our privacy and taking all our rights away. If you think this is no big deal you are very naive (tayeman). A security camera in a 7/11 is very different than at a place where you go to relax and kick back thinking you have a little privacy. Where does it stop? I for one have had just about enough of waking up everyday and reading or hearing about some other such nonsense. Everyday it's something new!?

Hayek's work was certainly not "overreaction." Strong arguments can & have been made that? Hayek, especially in the Road to Serfdom, was too accomodating to statists/collectivists. He conceded too much; assuming for the sake of argument that any concessions needed to be made at all. Ditto for Friedman & the monetarists on this subject. He concedes too much to the inflationists. He is too accomodating. Underreaction, if anything. Mises & the Austrian school got it right, on the issue of money.

What the fail to consider is that although there was price stability, that? didnt meant that there hasn´t been inflation. Prices didn´t skyrockted because there was a lot of productivity in the US at that time, so the productivity neted out the inflation. Also the Fed in the 20´s fix the interest rates to low and that was a cause of the Buisiness Cycle and the GD.

The Fed expanded the money supply during the 20's, but since the dollar was pegged to gold, it had to go back to the same level when it busts.(or meet half way as FRD did in 1933 with the confiscation and price jump) Am-I-rite?

I still don't understand why its fair that only a small portion of people get the information to make sure the price of the stock is accurate and not everyone. I mean if that small number of people have that magical power to make sure that stock prices are accurate then sure by all means give them that information. The case here is that they are not the only ones who? have that magical power. Everyone has the potential to make use of the information and make stock prices more accurate.

By: PanzerDivisionBOM. on 15 May 12, 12:03:56
Not necessarily just one person. But yes, we do need the information to get out as soon as possible, so that people can start acting upon it and taking it into account in their plans for the future. Speculation does? just that, and insider trading is just one form of speculation.

By: bweazel. on 27 Apr 12, 01:46:36
Not fulfilling your fiduciary duty to you shareholders is fraud, sorry, there's really no way that you can argue that keeping your shareholders in the dark is a good thing for the company or the economy, again, it is only good for the insider. Oh come on. Now you're advocating for CEO's to keep secrets and not ever inform shareholders, again, fraud. Listen, the same price drop is going to happen either way, it's a question about? who gets the money and what stock price they sold it at.

No, if the insider ...
By: bweazel. on 27 Apr 12, 01:42:13
No, if the insider publicly announces the information, they now have the information, it is no longer non-public material information, it is now public information and everyone has a chance to make a decision based upon that newly public? information. So of course they can trade on it, and now after fulfilling his fiduciary duty to the shareholders, the insider can trade on it too, but not before. Why is this so hard for you to understand? Because Stossel and an Austrian economist say otherwise?

I see no reason to ...
By: bweazel. on 27 Apr 12, 01:01:35
I see no reason to sacrifice the integrity and morality of an entire system for the "freedom" of a select few insiders. I can't believe you all are really advocating for this. Nothing I have said yet has been an ad hominem. I have an argument completely separate from my opinions on your pride. You being prideful? has nothing to do with my argument, it is just an aside. I never said it was, can you explain to me how you think insider trading reduces volatility? You can't be serious.

By: bweazel. on 27 Apr 12, 00:58:30
I couldn't care less what you think the desire is. The insiders do get the money, and it comes at the expense of the? shareholders and the economy at large. It is fraud, period. I mean seriously, are you trying to tell me that Ken Lay's insider trading was good for the economy? Was it? Him lining his pockets with people's 401k's and investors equity before the entire company went bust? Is that good for people? In my opinion, insider trading is only freedom for the insider. No one else.

The desire is not ...
By: Kccraft22. on 27 Apr 12, 00:53:19
The desire is not to have the experts have all the money, but to allow experts to be trading. The end result would be a greater amount of money in the pockets of each of a greater amount of people than with the insider trading laws. Yes, it is sad that we have more of a socialist system than a free? market, but that is not an argument for preventing the market from becoming more free. Rather than continue Ad hominem attacks, can you explain why it is beneficial to have a volatile market?

Every action in ...
By: bweazel. on 27 Apr 12, 00:41:36
Every action in this economy comes at the cost of someone else or the group as a whole. If I take out a billion dollar loan from a bank, do you really believe that's not going to effect prices? any? Of course it will. And of course it will find equilibrium, but my risk and my desire have now raised prices on the rest of the country. That is a zero-sum game. My success definitely does come at the expense of others too. We're just passing credits around to each other really.

This economy is a ...
By: bweazel. on 27 Apr 12, 00:38:35
This economy is a fallacy, friend. This is not a free market. No where close to it actually. Yes, exactly, this is socialism. More than it is a free market. I mean really, we have a central bank that controls interest rates and the money supply. It is completely about elitism. I think you? guys just have too much pride to admit that's what you're naively advocating for. They acknowledge it plenty of times in this video. "Wouldn't you rather the experts have that money?" No, I wouldn't.

By: Kccraft22. on 26 Apr 12, 23:50:10
Why so fixated on this CEO scenario? Even if what you are describing hurts? the company and everyone else (which I would love to see an argument proving), it ignores the greater damage done to the average person. As Firestryke2 pointed out, this boils down to what Hayek? said about things seen and unseen. You believe libertarians are elitists because you are fixated on one seen aspect. There is an unseen side that Austrians look for that shows that these policies are anything but elitist.

Your argument about ...
By: Kccraft22. on 26 Apr 12, 23:41:46
Your argument about informing the shareholders is cyclical. If they are informed, then they now have inside information and can't trade on it. How does that help them? Now they know that stock prices will plunge when the information is made public and there is nothing they can do about it because of the "helpful"? insider trading laws. Instead, they could trade on their information, causing a more gradual change in prices that would create a more stable stock market.

While fraud can be ...
By: Kccraft22. on 26 Apr 12, 23:36:39
While fraud can be used in insider trading, it is the fraud, not the trading, that is harmful and immoral. Instead, if people with information were allowed to trade, the affects of their trading on prices would provide information to actually make fraud? harder, not easier. Instead of a stock suddenly crashing and everyone losing their investments, there would be an indication of the change before it happens, and the impact would be lessened. In net, there would be more productivity.

By: Kccraft22. on 26 Apr 12, 23:21:57
"This economy is a zero sum game." There are so many economic fallacies that you've brought up, but I think this is the central misconception of all your arguments. The economy is not a zero sum game, at least not in a free market. Socialism is a zero sum game when you have makers? and takers, rather than makers trading with makers in a positive sum exchange. This issue isn't about elitism, it is about freedom and prices. Prices control behavior, because they are information.

But for the rest of us who don't care to trade oranges for chairs or shoelaces? for heating oil, money works pretty well.

By: kev3d. on 26 Apr 12, 01:42:56
Once again, if a company publicly appears robust it may attract more investors, like during the dot com bubble, even if insiders know that the business model is not sustainable. So what happens? The price goes up,? more people invest but sooner or later the bubble pops, and those investors lose much more than they would have otherwise, had they the best, current and accurate information earlier. In other words, it pops the bubble before it gets too big, reducing, but not eliminating, losses.

If a person voluntarily buys a stock he knows, or? ought to know that there is an inherent risk in investing. A quake could swallow up the HQ, the next product might be ill-received. But there is also a chance that the stock could explode or anywhere in between. That is how it works. Don't like it? Don't play. But to forbid those with the most current, accurate and relevant information from trading on it is ridiculous and certainly is no crime.

If stocks were fair, the price would never change. Do you honestly believe that prior to 1968, there were no "small players" in the market? Furthermore, good information doesn't need to be bought, it becomes apparent with the price adjustments.

By: kev3d. on 26 Apr 12, 01:30:00
"Confidential" is a separate issue to insider trading. If an employee's contract forbids? him from acting on certain information then that closes the matter. However, if there is no such contractual prohibition on acting on certain information, then why not allow that information to be used in the market place? After all, they spent their time and energy at a particular company, why not let them place their bets as best they can?

By: kev3d. on 26 Apr 12, 01:27:17
So if the interest rate set by the fed is so "nominal", why have it at all and leave the interest rate at whatever is justified by the customer's credit rating? I WANT a system based on self-interest and greed. Such as it is, the FED has done a piss poor job of economic maintenance, considering the loss of dollar value and the worst economic meltdown of all happened AFTER? the FED was created and it failed to do what it was designed for; protect the money supply.

Your lack of foresight and critical thinking is staggering, what you dont understand is, there are such things as physical crime and a financial crime. Money ultimately makes everybody corrupt, eveybody has a price. The law's or specifically? financial laws sole objective is deter these kind of activities, by punishment.

By: BullshitPolitics. on 26 Apr 12, 01:18:18
yes he obtained all the dirt on a company, thus he has the knowledge to perform better than the average investor. This is unfair advantage over the market, thus beginning a a cycle of predatory corruption while the average investor will be screwed more and more. Until it becomes evident to the average investor, that he has no chance of competing with the big players, because good info can only be bought by those? who can afford it.

By: BullshitPolitics. on 26 Apr 12, 01:17:52
"Interest rates are set by the market all the time in other? sectors of the economy"..but based on what? thats right, the nominal interest set by central bank. From there on, it solemnely based on their credit worthiness etc. The role of central banks is to be the objective role-player whose only perspective is the maintenance of the whole economy, if it was set by the market it would be convoluted by greed and self-interest. Again i digress, what part of "confidential" dont you understand? 1/3

By: bubbachumphrey23. on 26 Apr 12, 18:32:52
The fundamental question is why would any moral action be necessitous for fulfilled living if we live in an amoral, non-telic, accidental universe. The only "rational" reason for morality is a reference point beyond the? individual that individuals and groups may discover through revelation, but can never create. If we can create what morality is, or determine what morality should look like, then it is ultimately subjective and determined by individual whims.

TREMENDOUS. I'd encourage anyone reading this to listen to Harry Browne's "Rule Your World" audio? lecture. You WILL hear a take on many topics that you haven't considered. He'll back many of your beliefs into a corner and make you reason your way out (hopefully to your satisfaction). . But most importantly, he'll push you farther toward yourself. This is a guy who wants you to be free...

By: commercialanalysis. on 24 Apr 12, 08:29:52
He justifies? an objective ethics with a subjective metaethics. He fails to understand that just as it's possible to abstract beyond the details of one's own past in order to formulate principles that help bring happiness in similar, albeit new, experiences, it is equally possible to further abstract beyond the non-essential details which distinguish individuals. It's the same process - yet he considers it dogmatism. That is why people accuse libertarians of being moral subjectivists.
