    Stocks aren’t real resources, they are imaginary potential resources. Stocks market fluctuations are important only as long as people think they are. Like a king who is a king only because his subjects consider him a king.

      Some stock have value because the company is profitable, solid and is making money. I am no investor but Coca Cola I would imagine fit the description.

      Oh, so my 401k losing money isn’t real? Damn, that’s a relief.

      Neither are money, but we’re still not a communist society so we still consider it one.

      If you want stocks to not be important, phase out public companies.
