What investments are the wealthy making to benefit a country's economic growth?

No. 

Nothing in the way of infrastructure or high speed rail that will give a country's citizens work for 20 or 30 years, but, they are investing in increasing their wealth faster.

...According to its New Jersey-based (click here) operator, Hibernia Atlantic, the $300 million Project Express will be 5.2 milliseconds faster than the AC-1, with an execution time of 59.6 milliseconds. That will make Project Express the world’s fastest transatlantic cable when it opens in 2013 and the first to achieve round-trip trading speeds of less than 60 milliseconds. Unless someone beats them to it....


So much for "Giving Back" after being bailout of complete market collapse. No austerity for the wealthy. Indeed.


As a matter of fact, the bailout of 2008 made by the USA, facilitated the monetary accumulation within the wealthy and allowed greed to dominate faster and better ways to DEAL. If it weren't for the global economic 'to big to fail' phenomena, these 'wealth projects' designed to accumulate wealth faster are funded by the seclusion of the money supply at the top of the food chain, while governments struggle to provide for their citizens.

Now, why isn't this degree of greed being returned to a nation's treasury for the benefit of debt payment in the way of taxes? It is all backwards and the more this continues the more the poor will be deeper into poverty while nation's struggle. This is the most ridiculous project of EXCLUSIVITY and STATUS and GREED I have ever witnessed.


...Hilt has sworn to keep secret (click here) the identities of his trading firm customers, who use high-powered mainframe computers and sophisticated algorithms to sift through volumes of financial data flows in search of price discrepancies and split-second trading opportunities. The quant-driven world of computerized trading has received some unflattering attention lately, thanks to the botched initial public offering by Lenexa (Kan.)-based Bats Global Markets, which operates two electronic exchanges, and a new Securities and Exchange Commission probe into the business practices of high-frequency firms....


That is precious beyond any value system I have ever witnessed. There are no human beings making investments. Computers are dominating the way money is moved around the world. It is a process to accumulate wealth and not make business INVESTMENTS. There is nothing benevolent about this to the global economy. It is about robbing the 'process' of investment. 


Wall Street and its family around the world was organized to bring together investors to facilitate a nation's growth. To provide platforms for investment that could sustain not only a nation's growth, but, the outcomes of investors. Stock dividends. This isn't about investment, this is about harnessing 'the process' of money movement and stealing incremental amounts of currency before anyone has a chance to invest otherwise.


This fiber-optic cable connection isn't about trading stocks for investment and growth over time, it is about etching out any opportunity to steal a companies 'loose change.' This process will hurt the companies that use IPOs for expansion and possibly destroy them. What will occur is 'cash flow' to private equities. It will be taking cash out of the stock market for wealth accumulation so isolated trading firms can control cash flow/liquidity. It is about the power of money and the liquidity companies need to transact business. 


I strongly suggest companies hold onto their own liquidity/cash. Ford Motor was the smartest company on Earth. They saw cheap money before the Global Depression and they survived without relying on a dime of money from anyone. Any corporation that wants to survive to the decade of 2020 needs to have their own liquidity. Corporations need to hold on to their monies and 'stand pat' for their own good, their employees and stock holders. 


This is not an improvement, it is further degradation of the morality and ethics of Wall Street and a further isolation of economic opportunity for a country's growth.
