The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

The market is only real because people believe in it. Unless you plan to be on the board of a company, the stock is worth exactly the expected dividend, which most stocks no longer pay. There is no intrinsic value to a stock… people will pay you a spot price today only because of the expectation they will sell at a higher price later. Without that belief, there is no value.
