Now what was that other article, something about doing nothing? Seems to me stock tokens might be appealing to the day-trading set, but for those of us who are adhering to a more boring regimen of buying index funds and tuning out the thrum of the news cycle they have not a lot to offer. My other observation is related to the techies who are behind these. “Techies are gonna tech.” They’re enamored of new software and technology tricks, and love finding ingenious ways of putting them to work - sometimes regardless of the actual value their innovations create by way of improved quality or productivity. Witness earlier years of the web when Java Script and Flash were just coming into play. There was an old joke around Silicon Valley about web developers penchant for playing with new toys: “OK, yeah sure, the UI sucks, but look at that Flash.” In other words, admitting that all their coding work didn’t really do anything to improve the user experience, but the page sure did look cool. So now we have stock tokens.
“No matter how hard I work, I will never be able to afford a home I really love.” Just wait’ll they find out they’re not all going to get a trophy for doing a half-a**ed job at work… Mass affluence and constant affirmations have led to high expectations, and I see many young people expecting to start out their adult lives living at the same level they left behind when they moved out of their parents’ quarters. It’s a rude awakening to find out that for many, if not most, real life don’t always turn out that way.

Anyone who is reading this (i.e., HD readers) is likely not concerned, and likely waiting for the real drop so they can add to their equity positions.
