Investing

[Screwball]

The banksters always win. Remember, even when the stock market takes a ****, they make money by shorting it, and make even more money of others doing the same. 

As far as the cap thing goes. Price controls are never a good thing when you go back through history. A guy who was a regular in the investment board 3 boards ago, lived in Detroit, guy named Rhino, posted a really good article about price controls and how that kind of stuff worked throughout history. I have hunted for that article since and can't find it. 

They don't work. Not to get political here, but both sides have advocated for it (I have proof). At the end of the day it's all about feeding the credit/ponzi financial system we are all a prisoner of (maybe not all). I don't know how they can wave a magic wand and cap rates, but if they can and do, the swine bankers also have the option of not giving credit. Some may say it ain't the banks it would be the CC companies, true, but at the end of the day we are talking about credit and balance sheets and it all goes through the banks - especially the 21 (not sure how many now) broker-dealers of Wall Street. Those who run our world.

I guess it all boils down to what you think is good or bad when it comes to the issuance of credit. Interest compounds. Exponents are a bitch.

ON EDIT: building on what Del said; they will just find another way to **** us, and their obedient servants in CONgress will gladly hide that in the next bill and nobody will ever know.
