You know that is a good attitude for society. It is only during financial bubble times that people develop the flip-it mindset.

I am a PG fan, but the only thing I am not a fan of is his built-to-flip mindset. The coming downturn will cure it - most companies aren't going to find sugar-daddies, so would actually have to figure out a way to make it on their own ...

It's bad because those people ONLY plan to work hard, but not work SMART.

It isn't just about building to flipping. They would never start a business at all. There is much more honor in pushing papers around and accomplishing nothing at some huge company than ever actually doing the most you can do.

Why is that? It's good for the economy for people to invest in the market.
