It was brilliant, what the Redditors did. And there's never been a more blatant illustration of, "oh noes. The poors figured out how we cheat the system quick shut it off."
-
Good to know Jon hasn’t lost his edge after all these years. Dude just picked right where he left off like it was nothing. This man is a national treasure
-
The point Jon made about us “not supposed to understand it” is so true. That’s how cons work: they come up with something so intricate it takes too much time and skill to unwrap it. Mad props to the redditors.
-
Always remember: if someone is offering you a way to make money, it's because they probably stand to make more off you than you're making yourself
-
Jon's been spitting fire for decades and he's still right on point. Having Jon Stewart on your side is so comforting, he's the adult in any given room.
-
For the younger audience. When he said "someone should question him publicly"....he refers to the time...when he did exactly that
-
"btw in the 90's they referred to as just friends" is such a good joke. it's criminal nobody made a sound
-
I remember something I read once from a random person on the internet that more or less said "When the economy is doing well we're told how awesome it is but don't see any of the benefits; when it does bad we're the ones who are told we have to make sacrifices and tighten our belts."
-
The problem is that this isn't over yet. Institutional investors are still doing whatever they want, the SEC is in bed with them and won't move even on outlawed practice, and retail investors lack access and power to break into this game and clean it up.
-
His comment at the end..."someone should question him publicly, because I'm sure that would have tremendous ramifications." That was actually depressing. We've been here before, exposed all this and its just happening again and no one cares..
-
The average stock in my portfolio has been cut in half, and the only way to make money this year has been to either short or to trade long in very short time frames. I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my dipping $117k stock portfolio, what’s the best way to take advantage of this market?
-
After experimenting with stocks since late 2021, I've shifted to 100% S&P 500. Still regretting not doing so from the start. Now i am Considering a return to individual stocks in 2024, but uncertain about safely investing close to 300k in the market.
-
I lost it at "Someone should question him publicly." That was one of the best Daily Show episodes and I hope he never recovers from all those burns.
-
"Someone should question him publicly" - yeah we know you did it Jon and brilliantly about 12 years ago. No ramifications.
-
Jon is so good at pointing out outrageous things, giving them the outrage they deserve in a deliberate, restrained fashion, and finding the humor in all of it. Man delivers outrageousness so well without being obnoxious and embodies it in some ways.
-
I remember watching Jon destroy Jim Kramer over the course of 20+minutes and it was amazing. Jim was so drawn in on himself like a child being berated by a parent who isn't "mad", they're just "disappointed". The fact that he kept his job and "credibility" after that is just indicative of how broken our system is
-
Glad to see a journalist with integrity actual dig into this issue and shed serious light on just how messed up our financial institutions are. If hedge funds can sell you securities they don't own, and bypass settlement functions with measly fines, how is it fair?
-
Jon your a friggin saint. What you did for the NYFD after all there health problems was solid thing that will never be forgotten.
-
@5.24 "in the nineties they were referred to as just friends" DYING 😅
-
I was watching all of this from the sidelines in real time. I'm glad Jon Stewart is shining a light on the whole thing. The story isn't over though and is still ongoing.
