More flubber talk. Europe isn't out of knee-deep crap yet. Be ready for another crash for no reason other than it's the easiest way for banks to make money. Buy->Rapid up, Short->rapid down, rinse, repeat. Whatever news at the time that conveniently helps to further their agenda is just icing on the cake.

How about we do away with all the bullshiat and return to stocks to simple long term investments as their were originally intended. They were a way for Ma and Pa Kettle to invest in corporate growth (buy in) and receive income from that long term investment (dividends).

Stocks today are just another form of gambling that enrich a tiny few who generate no real value to society.

It would serve the rest of the world well to disconnect themselves from the US and China. All these two do is try to economically take advantage of everyone else so fark em'

China is no threat. They are teetering on the edge like rest of us.

You just do not hear it because of the Great Golden Wall, but protests are occurring all over China on a continuous basis.

Note the "with a smile". At this point no economy is able to disconnect from the world trade system. Even farking Chad.

Day traders have ruined everything.

When was this?

From my limited understanding, the first time people started selling shares in a venture or enterprise to raise capital was closely followed by the first stock bubble as people allowed greed and shortsightedness overrule their common sense.

What is needed is something like a 50% tax on proceed from sale of stock held less than five years, twice that if the person doing the selling is not a natural person.

So it's not EU, it's US?

Europe may have bigger problems, but is at least trying to solve them. America isn't even talking about addressing major structural issues by both sides arguing about who is sinking the ship faster. Nobody actually gives a fark and the strategy is to just stop everything whereas here almost all major parties are actively working to solve the problem, though they disagree and sometimes vehemently on how.
