Yeah I know but I mean, they used to at least pretend. Now it's all off the rails.

and then you give these newly printed really worthless (except for the book value ie BVPS) shares created from nothing with no real use beyond speculation to commercial banks who then give you 'real' (state backed) bank money with some haircut.

Capitalist apologists will tell you this was an economically necessary and unavoidable course of action.

Is it good when your shares are worth 30¢ each?

[-] unmagical@lemmy.ml 14 points 5 days ago

I'm wondering how you got that number cause it's several orders of magnitude off the actual share price.

I'm guessing they either read two times "million" or two times "billion," and then just did 29/96

[-] hellinkilla@hexbear.net 13 points 5 days ago

Yes thats correct.

I will leave it in place as a cautionary tale.

it's not 30 cents but Musk actually pays several magnitudes less than market share price

He has to hold the shares for five years and can buy them for $23.34 per share, the same as the exercise price of the 2018 award
