But thats the point. Your last sentence is the problem:
Investors proping up stuff by 20%, 401k and etf etc. regularly invest, investor drop out.
Who loses? 401k and etf.
Money was transfered.
Same shit happen to my company share: Price jumps 40%, company has to buy them because of employer benefits, I auto buy them, price falls back by 40%, what happened?
Investors extracted money out of the company and me.
