    Glad it will ripple through our economy meaning we will all be able to afford housing and groceries easily.

      It’s a quirk in how companies are valued. All shares of a company are assumed to have the value of the last ones that sold. Even though 99%+ are not available for sale on a given day.

      So the money doesn’t actually exist.
