  2. In 100 years America will essentially own the entire world completely. I don't see any other country changing things and circumstances.

    An eventual one world government and one world currency. One leader. Universal Basic Income and control. AI is the Government. Maybe by 200 years. Consolidation always happens.

    You don't sense a disconnect between the graph and what you wrote?
     
  4. Enlighten me. All you did was post a pictograph. What's the bottom line in your own words.

    My mind is a bit confused right now from analyzing before and after photos of penis enlargement surgery and staring at feet thighs porn

    I don't think it's gambling. I believe the Anglo world just has the most money and differentiated ways to invest. I was born in India and very few Indians trust the stock markets at least people my age or older. They all buy real estate with their excess money like Asians in general. I have friends from Africa and it is the same story there. The Financial Markets are simply not developed.

    The Chinese markets have done nothing but go down since 2007 but since Chinese don't buy shares it has little to no meaning. Now the current real estate drop is very bad for the Chinese. China is to US currently what US was to the UK in the 1930s. On the verge of taking over the global financial system but it won't happen without a global recession & war.

    I don't know that the pictogram is very accurate to start with. Singapore, for example, is very low at 8% when in fact all Singaporean contribute to their retirement via the state's sovereign fund, a majority mix of Singapore enterprises listed on the Singapore stock exchange.
    I'm also dubious of the 14% in HK, which is Asia's banking and trading powerhouse.

    I was less surprised by the US participation than by the cluster of anglo nations at the top. Australia and New Zealand ?!? I don't imagine many of the 18% Maori population of NZ are invested in the market, which means that most of the shareholding population there is Anglo and Asian.

    But yes, I get your point. None of the many places I've lived in are glued to the stock market like the US population is. In parts of Europe, trading is even viewed negatively by a significant % of the population, probably because it is perceived as gambling, contributing nothing to the betterment of humanity :rolleyes:.
