Why do corporate people feel safe when the stock market is up according to Les?
Corporate people feel safe when the stock market is up because they focus on profit and equate rising markets with unending security. They are on cloud nine, see no problems, and trust their large bank accounts, even if the wealth is only on paper, believing there is no end to it.
Les teaches that the business world’s mentality is profit, profit, profit. As long as the stock market keeps going up, corporate people are on cloud nine; they think they have no problems because they have a big bank account, whether it is on paper or not. They live deliciously and assume there is no end to it, but the text warns that torment and sorrow will be given her.
