I quite agree with your ...Nice to see you back FB.<br /><br />I quite agree with your post, but I'd just like to throw this extra bit in. the obsession these days is with "growth" - growth in GDP, growth in revenue, growth in profits - all fuelled by an obsession with the stock market. The stock market is seen these days as THE key indicator of economic performance - why? It is meaningless - just a glorified gambling cartel. But this obsession causes sensible listed companies to borrow huge amounts of money to "grow" their business just so that the stock market likes them - and the stock market is one hell of a fickle mistress.Stanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15007863347348182876noreply@blogger.com
