		That is, take it EXTRA on the chin when there is inflation and war, since they take it on the chin all the time because they are the prime target of all governmental taxing agencies.
		And not the lumpeninvestoriat, who have now convincingly demonstrated they don't know anything about the market, which could have been assumed from the start of the great stock price run-up that brought them in on the party, like most unlucky schlemiels, just before the booze ran out.
		No, the only people who we can be sure must like the present bellicose, inflated, arrogant, hubristic, idiotic, loony contretemps must be the Great Rich, those whose bank-based fortunes swell in bad times and good, and whose children, if they have any, are insulated from thuggish crime and war.

		There's no logic to it, just like there's no logic in holding stocks valued at 61 and 382 times sales, respectively, but these folks just don't want to hear it.
		Bonner and Wiggin have a slightly precious term for such speculators: the lumpeninvestoriat.
		It's a simple concept: Crowds can only understand truths when they are so boiled down that they are no longer appreciably true.

	Our Financial Reckoning by Doug French
		The savings rate has dropped from ten percent to nearly zero.
		Instead of working hard, saving and prudence, the new investor class, what Bonner affectionately calls the "lumpeninvestoriat" believes that they can get something for nothing.
		Instead of distrusting Wall Street like their ancestors wisely did, the lumpeninvestoriat believes that they can "get rich in their sleep." These people believe that by merely buying stock they are investors.

		In a long term bear market --where good single stock or single sector bets may abound-- there is no worse strategy than putting your money into a broad index.

		But today, I found another bit of Das Kapital alive and kicking, in the message of a dear colleague.
		That bit is the word “lumpeninvestoriat.” Obviously, it’s a play on Marx’s term “lumpenproletariat” - from the German “Lump” meaning “[dressed in] rags” or “scoundrel.” Only that here, it is used to denote the mass of households owning stocks.
		I was uncertain if I was supposed to feel insulted by it until I realized that the Great Wheel of Fortune (and I’m talking Fortuna, not Vanna White) that is the stock market is an equal-opportunity offender when it comes to punishing class and pretension.
