Ok, explain something else to me about stocks: the company issues stocks, usually an an IPO, sometimes other times, basically taking out a loan, yes? Why does it then matter to the company how much those shares are worth in the future? Why does it care what it's trading at?

The whole thing about stock not having value if you don't sell it is also why i get so frustrated with a lof of the billionaire talk. "Jeff Bezos could pay for US health care for a year" and shit. No he couldn't, his entire net worth is stock in a company, not liquid cash.

And he can't just sell his entire company in one go because that would cause a major shift in the market and drop the price. He's probably still a billionaire in liquid assets, sure, but not to the scale people think he is. It's not spending money, it's a mountain of solid gold.
