      You. Your neighbour. Me. The people who’s actually making value. These people are leeches, and do not deserve to live.

      It’s a quirk in how companies are valued. All shares of a company are assumed to have the value of the last ones that sold. Even though 99%+ are not available for sale on a given day.

      So the money doesn’t actually exist.
