I do believe in bull-markets. I do, I do!

My preferred version:

Well yeah. The market is just an aggregation of sentiment of traders. It hasn't been a reflection of value in ages.

Can you imagine if shares, were for sharing profits with the best workers of a company?

[–] moondoggie@lemmy.world 29 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

If shares were for sharing, that would be reflected in the name somehow.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 13 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah, I guess so. Well at least I have my Asset.

Hey, I would like a share of your ass. too, don't be hoarding that!

[–] moondoggie@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

Be sure to hold onto it tightly as you spread those checks.

They are. Manny companies so share offers or share bonuses with their workers.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 4 points 3 hours ago

Would you like to share some with the class? Cause personally I am tired of bonuses being credits to the company store.

It never has been anything but that. "Value" is just a sentiment of a trader. Probably by definition.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 1 points 24 minutes ago

It didn't used to be. When it all first started, before the exchanges and before it got very easy to trade, a share was literally just a portion of the company. Directly tied to its value.

Then we got all "efficient" and fucked it right up.

This is just textbook the last 50 years of western SE.
