    I never understood how capitalists claim market prices are the true source of truth and yet disagree with it when it’s not the outcome they like.

      Until any sizable amount decides to sell and it all falls apart because it’s actually not the source of truth lol.

      In a true free market stock prices would become totally random noise. Even the best capitalist theorists (economists) came to this conclusion.

        Capitalist theorists, you say? I call them astrologers for the wealthy.
