    I love the people who claim things like “they just have stock! Not money!!” Great, I’ll take $10 billion in stock please. Should be no problem since it isn’t real.

      It isn’t in the form of sequential 2 dollar bills and simon didn’t say!

      Such little liquidity, couldn’t you just die?

        Bezos recently sold 2 billion in Amazon stock. Wonder how he pulled that one over!

            You’ve evidently entirely misunderstood what I said. My entire point has been that stocks are worth money and I’m not sure what this “does not apply to you so you’re against it” is supposed to mean. I never said I was “against” stocks and whether I or my family own any is not only something you’d not know, but is also irrelevant.

            My point was that when people say something like “Elton doesn’t have $200 billion, it’s just stock!” they’re acting like stocks aren’t real. I’m not.
