Answer 1

your post highlights the problem with capitalism

stockmarkets are a capitalist scam, a ponzi scheme that no one dares correct.

why ?.

-no one likes to lose money, ask any home owner about property values.

-acknowledging the failures of capitalism

-checks and balances would wipe $trillions / $billions from pension portfolios

Bernard Lawrence Madoff was an honest man compared to many of those past and present who work in the stock markets, capitalist hypocrisy at its best

Answer 2

Some do, it depends on their circumstances, pension pots, investments

 etc.

Answer 3

Some do. For many people the performance of the stock market affects their pensions.
