  You want stronger stocks? Then stock holders need to give up this foolish notion that low head counts and staff reductions equals a well run company and good behavior. Because it is short sighted thinking that inevitably comes back to bite you.

  With labor afraid for their jobs and worried about the future, people are not spending. This means companies are not producing. And the investors in those companies and their organizations are losing money. That means declining stock values and trouble in the markets as the genius stock holders respond in fear that consumers are not spending. Making things even worst and putting more pressure for job reductions.

  Do you get the cycle image yet?

  Worried workers = lower consumer confidence = poor company numbers = poor stock value = more pressure to reduce jobs = more worried workers.

  The solution. You need to realize that you need workers to have consumers. Employed secure people = good consumer confidence. That means better company performance = better stock prices (if you look at things correctly) = better market performance = chance for greater demand and more jobs.

  Someone needs to have the courage to adopt the right cycle and get away from the greed centered view of making a quick buck today or this quarter over the long term obvious benefits of a strong job market and what that means for consumption and opportunity.
