"Honestly debating with you is like talking to my 2nd grade teacher"

- sorry if it sounds like i'm talking down to you but you're asking me to explain the painfully obvious like so:



"your points here have nothing to do with the stock market and "a fact that a lot of people didn't play by the rules and it wiped out $??". The mortgage and loan crisis is a predecessor to the economic crash. We were talking specifically about Stock market investment in the dialogue we had going."

- the stock market doesn't exist independently of people in financial industry who don't play by the rules...that's like claiming enron's stock performance had nothing to do with the crimes committed by their executives



"In any case, I never said I had lack of knowledge.. I said I'm not an expert"

- lacking depth of insight means the same thing as not being an expert...it wasn't an insult...i lack depth of insight into many financial issues too...i'm still waiting for someone to explain what 'non-borrowed reserves' means on the federal reserve link i posted earlier in this thread because i lack the depth of insight to understand the term even though i know exactly what the individual words mean

insight
Noun
1. a penetrating understanding, as of a complex situation or problem
2. the ability to perceive clearly or deeply the inner nature of things
