And a huge increase in monies invested in the market. That large
investment would drive stock prices up and would encourage more
recklessness in the market.
Prices up, yes. As for recklessness, look at the huge success of casinos
nationwide. We are a nation of gamblers; we have a history of it, in land,
business and at the gaming table. As for net gain or loss to the economy,
we can speculate on whether a huge inflow of investment capital would make
American businesses grow stronger through additional research and
development and opening new markets. It would most certainly lower their
capital costs.
