MSNBC's Dylan Ratigan: Need For An Alternative Investment Structure Instead of the Corrupt Stock Market

"Seventy percent of the volume [of trades on the stock market] is computers that are run by the banks playing ping pong with stocks for 10 seconds at at time," Ratigan said.

"The stock market at this point, which used to be a reflection of the future value of actual businesses in this country, has been turned by our government and our banks into little more than a paper shredding facility [about which] we can make up reasons why it goes up and down, but when the computers at the banks are controlling the action, most everything else is kind of silly."
