I am a bit puzzled why companies freak out when some weird tweet makes their stock value plummet, while another suddenly make them of a high value... like did the actual company just collapse or is the busines as usual? Those companies that aren't on the stock market don't exist? They don't make profit? They don't sell stuff and employ people? Why are businesses so focused on this volatile and crookd system?
