Ah, now that I didn't think of. When stock prices go down, companies can no longer make purchases based off stock exchanging. So startup purchasing will go down as markets reduce to more sane levels, meaning that gambling investors will find something new to put their money in, and all your built to flip startups will leave a lot of people flipping burgers.
I guess it's time to start building features for solar panels, but that's where the gamblers are going to be heading towards.
- trevelyan 18y agoNot a good idea to take stock as payment when it's about to plummet anyway.
- incomethax 18y agoUnless you know that it's inherently valuable... oh wait most of it is worth less than it was after the dot-com bubble burst
- mattmaroon 18y agoDoesn't really matter. For one, you have no way to predict whether or not it's about to plumment. And for another, you can (and, as a general rule, should) hedge any time you get stock from an acquisition, options, etc. Just buy a bunch of puts and you're covered in the event of a down slide.
