Wouldn't more old people => fewer sales because they are going to be using their assets when they are old rather than paying into them? Like it has been said, if somebody doesn't want to play the market game, they can always buy bonds instead. |
the number of sales will stay the same, but the prices will crash realy fast if alot more people want to sell their assets because they are old, somebody will buy when the prices are low enough.
there is a market for bonds too, and bonds arent riskless...
a social net is needed anyway, some people just dont earn enough and others lose their money in the market.
ohh and high stock price are a huge malinvestment for the society, every dollar that flows into the stock market is a wasted dollar as long as its not going into an ipo.
