Yes and you've got more cheap chinese junk going into a taxpayer funded land fill. But at least you made some money, right? Isn't that the most important thing?
In the example he gave, you are able to have your DVD player while at the same time investing the money you saved. You're better off as is the stock market.
What's the problem?
Welcome to FR!
One can argue that the Chinese goods coming in are junk. I for one try my best not to buy it. However it isn't really in the best interests for anyone to tell people from whom they may buy from.
