Gregory's Server@freemo @Strandjunker There is a difference between shares and bank notes. The notes are immediately and always ready to be spent, shares are not and often shareholders are allowed to sell them. So, that's just "money" for the gallery which also can loose much value within a short period of time.

@freemo @CarKettner  Thats completely false, neither stock, nor economies as a whole, are a zero sum game. Nor is it true that you can only make wealth off of stocks by taking wealth from others. Yup.. people seem to care more about having opinions (bad ones) as to how to solve problem than they care to actually understand problems. I dont mind people being wrong, but the level of confidence with which people are wrong without exploring the topic in an educated way that bothers me the most. |

I can trade you a bank note immediately for food. I can similarly trade you a share immediately for food. Both are readily available. The difference is in how they are taxed, a share would be like trading gold or an asset, which has specific tax rules.
Both bank notes and shares can, in theory, loose money in short periods of time depending on the stability of the asset. Bank Notes are back on the stability of the US economy as a whole, securities are based on the stability of the security, which doesnt need to be in US dollars. As such a security can, in theory, be more stable (or less stable) than a bank note.
