Guys. 6 years ago QQQ was $279. The entire value of the tech industry as a whole has absolutely not doubled since.

I keep seeing loss posts, here and beyond, and I kinda wanted to remind everyone of one thing

The ticker/price is a valuation.

The value is in the thing being evaluated by said valuation.

Stocks are essentially worthless once you remove the company they *represent a portion of*...

So uh. Dont do that lol.

You're not buying a ticker. You dont own shares in a digital abstract on your screen.

Can anyone actually articulate an argument as to why *the individual companies represented by the nasdaq* have, as an aggregate total, more than doubled in value? Please feel free.

Play to win folks. Best wishes.
