I hate it too.

Seems like there's always someone that will reply-post saying to "well, quit complaining & buy stock....". To me that's a b.s. unsympathetic reply. It most often pops up here when someone questions Monsanto price increases, but I guess one could throw it out for any answer almost.

I'm betting that just about everyone here has a recent financial inflationary complaint? Should we all just consider the solution as "well then, I should buy some stock & enjoy the price increase...".

When Matt H. first saw gasoline hit $3, was his immediate thought to buy some stock in one of the major oil companies? When his health insurance shot up a few yrs back...did he buy stock in Aetna (I don't know stock companies, I just threw that out there)?

Sure you may share in the profit...but at a much-much-much lower rate than you'll spend the increase cost. Unless you own like 50% of the shares.
