The naive viewers are doing all these concessions for a company in which they have no equities.

It's not the same with public equities as it is with this new round of startups.

If the markets wanted instantaneous settlement of cash equities they could do it, no one does.

As for my second statement, I'm mocking the article's silly idea that investing in "productive assets" is somehow different from "financial speculation." I'm not making any claims about what percentage of their assets they would speculate with (either in the form of equities or bonds).

Equities now rocked, the effect amplified by fear and increasing uncertainty.
