what helps wagelings live better ?
one thing would be domestic investment in plant and equipment
gross and net
of course even reinvesting net cash flow in plant soft ware and equipment is a risk
you could just hold it in cash and securities or buy back some of your own equity
but
read this bit of bizz wizz hypo-mojo from the middle of the recent
contraction trench ie bitter end of 2009
" In 2006, gross private domestic investment reached its most recent peak...
17.4 percent of GDP.
After remaining almost at this level in 2007, this measure of investment fell
during each of the next two years to
11.3 percent of GDP "
17.4 % => 11.3%
doink !!!
but hold your water ....gus...
behold "The ... capital consumption allowance"
( an estimate of the market replacement cost for
wear and tear and obsolescence
of the existing capital stock.)
In recent years, the private capital consumption allowance
has ranged from 11% to 12%" of GDP
get it ???
at 11.3 % of gdp groos private invesment
we're near zero net investment in '09 !!!
"...., net private domestic investment (NPDI)
plunged by 94 percent from its 2006 peak! ....
yup
NPDI
"...did not simply fall during the recession; it virtually disappeared."
come pinch time
we wagelings
didn't get a lot of our kinda net added risk taking
out of the job creators ... eh ?
and yet the pay off for baring risk and taking rewards were super !!!
