If the SP500 stopped going up in value would you still be interested in the project?

- georgeecollins 5y agoYes. The stocks in the SP500 sometimes go down in value, sometimes in the aggregate for a long time. Individually some of them go down forever. If a stock goes down in value and it still pays a dividend it becomes more valuable for this. Setting that aside all stocks have a not very senior claim on assets. As the stock goes down sometimes it is worth less than the assets it has a claim to. At that point its better to buy up a controlling interest and sell the assets. Thats what private equity does. So yes I am interested when the value goes down.
- imtringued 5y agoI would expect it to pay dividends or do stockbuybacks until no more shares are publicly traded.
- JohnJamesRambo 5y agoSurely you see how hypocritical and ponzi that is.
