yea idek whats happening now and im too lazy to find out i just know its good… probably

I vaguely understand what’s happening. Basically imagine those Ty Beanie Babies that were supposed to be worth a lot by now but aren’t. Except the value of Beanie Babies has gone down.

So you’re a Stonks Man, and decide to “borrow” your auntie’s Beanie Babies but really you take them to…the pawn shop, I guess, and sell them at $20 a piece. Your plan is to come back in about a month because by that point, the Beanie Babies will be worth $3, total maybe, and you can give them back to your auntie at which point you will have basically made money.

Except now, someone decided to go to the store and buy ALL the Beanie Babies, at like $40 each. Maybe more. You’re screwed, because now you lost the Beanie Babies and have to hope you find the ones you just sold but now because of this person who bought them for an insanely high price, the cost of one Beanie Baby is like $100 now.

Except instead of Beanie Babies it’s stocks.

This is actually a pretty good way of explaining it
