The money the stockholders make, now, has to come from somewhere. It sure as hell isn't being generated by the production of goods or services at a profit.

Stock 'value' is increasing because the Fed is pumping out worthless paper 'dollars' that will continue to artificially inflate the market until Obama is out of office, when it will be someone else's problem...
