[uh-oh]

still sound like malarkey

we should do away with it

like if i start a company, what is the incentive to make it "publicly traded"? is that the right terminology?

but word my thinking is, WHAT IS THE POINT?

thats all i'm trying to figure out. like i see why i would want to buy apple stock in like 1987 or some shit so i could sell it when the iphone dropped or something and make money

but whether i own stocks or not doesn't mean anything right. its not like i own an iphone factory or something

so if i own stocks in the iphone, how does that benefit them? because i bought them? so basically its a way for people to buy nothingness from companies

i dunno
