The stock market.

Much as it might be claimed the big deal in todays finance world, when has it actually made a difference to the normal working mans life on the SMB/in the Noth East?

Frankly, it is aload of shite. Buying shares that you hope will do this that and the other, it is rubbish.

Any NORMAL working man want to tell me where the stock market has actually made a difference?

Making a big difference to your employer makes a big difference to you, I'd imagine?

We need to boycoutt the stock market. Then it will continue to not have the influence on us that it hasn't had before.

I consider myself a normal working man and I indirectly make my living from it. I also spend a lot of money in the north east which benefits the normal working man. Not defending it as such, I generally make rich people richer, but it answers your question.

If you are at work you are"lucky" in today's circumstances...but you'll have to work till you are 75 to maintain your pension..You have to pay more for fuel, food,mortgage etc but all in all it won' t make much difference ro you.

If u pay into private pension, more than likely impacts it's value.....
