The more people divest the more appealing these investments are. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] neutronbumblebee@mander.xyz 5 points 3 months ago (2 children) So more AI losses per investor. Shares are just like card collecting it only goes up if the demand is increasing. Right now I suspect it's reached maximum insanity and is ripe for a correction. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] john_t@piefed.ee 3 points 3 months ago I'm sure the big players are betting Trump will bailout AI companies. They don't have to worry. So they keep pumping the share prices. permalink fedilink source parent [–] fizzle@quokk.au 3 points 3 months ago That's not true. It can feel that way when you think as shares as numbers on a computer but they represent a share in the ownership of a country and presumably that ownership is actually worth something. If no one wants to invest because of the vibe, then you can buy the shares for a bargain. Maybe it's a bit like buying a house where someone was murdered. If you don't care about the vibe then the reduced demand means you can get a bargain. You can argue the shares are grossly overvalued, and that may be true, but my point is that shares have an intrinsic value and if demand reduces it increases the appeal to other investors. permalink fedilink source parent
