The wealth of this land is tied up in a few hands. It makes no difference how many years the laborer has worked, nor does it make any difference how many dreary rows the farmer has plowed, the wealth he has created is in the hands of manipulators. They have not worked any more than many other people who have nothing. Now we do not propose to hurt these very rich persons. We simply say that when they reach the place of millionaires they have everything they can use and they ought to let somebody else have something. As it is, 0.1 of 1 percent of the bank depositors nearly half of the money in the banks, leaving 99.9 of bank depositors owning the balance. Then two thirds of the people do not even have a bank account. The lowest estimate is that 4 percent of the people own 85 percent of our wealth. The people cannot ever come to light unless we share our wealth, hence the society to do it.

If we don't share some of our money, the people will take all of our money.

well, i wasn't forced to sell at lower prices, i was buying at lower prices... so there is that, make me the poster of capitalizing on irrationality that persists and increases for 9 years
at first, it was me that was irrational, but at the end of the day today and moving forward, it is not me that is irrational,

when was anyone right. GSEs are nothing more than a gamble period!
Since even a broken clock is right twice a day, even Nats may (I say may) be right once every 16 years and Nats wife is always right - although she does not have an opinion on the GSEs.
Years ago my dad told me - "I don't like to give advice - and I don't think I have ever given you any. But, to succeed in life, you need to know 2 things:
Regardless of the situation - home, school, work, social life and even sports - whether you are dealing with your mother, wife, sister, grandmother, great grandmother, girl friend, fiancee, mother-in-law or just some random women - the correct response to any request or question they may ask you, or any argument you may get into with them is either "YES MA'AM!" or YES MA'AM YOU ARE RIGHT!" Even if they are wrong."
I've come to live by this rule.
