Wall Street isn't "investing" into the general economy, they're just gambling and then hording their money OUT of the system.

They are more akin to the "burring the money in the ground".

The central incorrect meme of WS is that they actually DO anything PRODUCTIVE. When in fact they are parasites sucking off the blood of the actual productive economy.
