    “Please buy our product, don’t wait for prices to drop. We need to sell at current prices to maintain stock valuation.”

    Osborne effect, mutated.

        When price and supply are in the hands of the company with currently infinite demand, why wpuld you kill the gold rush?

        Benefits of being a tech hoarder. I’ve got backups. And an unexpected benefit of the slowing of tech advancement is that stuff that’s 10+ years old still holds up pretty well.

    When the AI dam breaks, after I’m done laughing my ass off at all the morons who lose millions or billions, I’ll wait until the various companies are desperate to sell RAM and SSDs for insanely cheap prices and only then will buy up a lot to replenish and hold onto (with hopefully a good shelf life).

    I cannot wait for the day when the Nazis are all dead, and the corporate greedy assholes are all poor. Interestingly that Venn diagram isn’t spread too far it seems. So…two birds, one stone, maybe?

      Ah see, that’s why we have socialized losses. Only profits are privatized.

      The public will pay for the losses with bail outs, because letting a corporation fail just can’t happen. On paper these corpos should have all the risk; in reality they appear to no longer have any.
