TownFlexSpaceX Stock Slips Below IPO Price as Short Sellers Profit $15.5BSpaceX stock falls below its $135 IPO price to $115.26, giving short sellers $15.5 billion in paper profits as traders double down on bearish market bets.Replying to @stermy4u@lemmy.world
$15.5B dollars, invented out of ether, and bestowed on the lucky gamblers. The stock market is so efficient that it can create wealth without bothering with economic activity. No jobs created; no products produced; and nothing to trickle down.
It provides a service of figuring out what the value of spacex really is.
Why that service is allowed to generate so much money for people is bonkers to me.
