The trustworthiness of banksA tremendous noise on Wall Street
Chapter 38
For example, they will forget about all your quaint old definitions,
2gBecause Capitalism isn’t about creating wealth by creating value that didn’t exist before;
3Instead, it’s about getting rich by getting hold of more money than other people,
4Which is why value doesn’t matter,
5aSince what really matters is being the swiftest,
6bAnd the fittest,
7cAnd getting up earlier than the other guy,
8So that you can take his money while he’s still asleep,
9dAnd use it to buy stocks on a margin,
10In the kinds of companies that can’t help but succeed,
11eWhich you can always identify because their stock prices keep going up,
12Which is why everybody else is buying their stock on margin too,
13And so it’s a good idea to buy yours earlier than the other guy,
14So that you’ll make higher profits,
15fAnd more money.
