OK, what false claims did crypto make to justify its valuation? What false claims did tulips make?
What if a large part of the stock market is more people gambling or FOMO herd mentality rather than calculated choices? You don't have to justify stock valuations the same way you can't rationalize peoples' behavior and that's what stock values reflect. Just stay way from high risk meme stocks.
>Tesla’s stock price massively benefited
You mean the investors have benefited. Which is why they invested in Tesla stock to begin with.
- acdha 2y agoCryptocurrencies aren’t regulated securities. They arguably should be but this is a weird distraction from the question of whether someone who did make false claims in a regulated context should be held accountable.

- AnimalMuppet 2y agoYou don't stop the buyer from buying on speculation about what the business might become. The buyer can do whatever they want based on whatever rationalization they want. You stop the seller from pumping up the stock price based on lies.
