I know it exists :) and I played with stocks at some point of my life. Probably some luck, but I didn't lose. Based on my understanding, I am putting bonds into the same bucket as stocks; if you are playing with them, be ready to lose all and don't invest more than what you are ready to lose. That's why I don't understand why banks have to pay off the bonds if they don't have that money.<br />I would really appreciate if you might write a post explaining what would happen if these banks wouldn't get all these billions to cover for bonds. Is it something extremely negative for our country or this is happening just because one small influential group of people decided to cover for each other (i.e. government for banks) on our account. I am asking because the investments you are mentioning sound very right.<br />Thank you!dolphinAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01587105656123207728noreply@blogger.com
