Frankly, the stock market is one huge rip-off - it has not so much to do with the value of the stocks themslves, as they are to do with the whims of investors - it's all gambling, legal cover by the deep-pocketed big-boys to rip-off the less knowledgeable public - it's all about market manipulation. You buy as much as you can when the market tanks (due to heavy sell-offs), then run up the prices (manipulation), then sell off high, making huge profits; then the market tanks - then start the process all over again, and again, with the market value rising incrementally higher after successive sell-offs.
