You know, I vaguely thought on some level - in my own, amateurish way - that part of current stock market oddity was too much money chasing too few real investments. And then Reddit and Hedge Funds both decided to just self-destructive s***-tons of money on worthless company.

Entirely possible I have some core concept wrong here, but I don't see why stocks, as an asset class, wouldn't work similarly (albeit on a smaller scale, both since Gamestop is not the housing market and also the leverage available to stocks is, in theory, much less)

Note the end of the second video - "where did this money go? It was consumed!" ie "real" loss comes from investment into activity that proves worthless. See also all the BS companies of the dotcom bust. On these short timescales...
