It's easy to become resigned to finance being an insiders game. But the efficient allocation of capital is to important to leave to "the professionals."
- murbard2 10y agoMarkets do not allocate capital, they provide liquidity for investors making them more likely to invest during stock offerings in the first place.
- eru 10y agoThose are just different faces of the same coin.
- murbard2 10y agoNo, well functioning exchanges affect the amount of capital that gets invested in ventures not how well it is allocated.
- eru 10y agoPeople are looking forward. How much money individual startups can raise (or established companies when increasing capital) depends on their expectations of future prices on the exchanges.
