Why Do Stock Prices Change? A Critique of the Stock Market

You'd have twenty lira left in the morning.

I mean, here's how it works. Like, a guy says you put in money at night and buy 100 lira worth of stock, then you look in the morning and it's down to ten lira.

Did that damn factory's chimney catch fire, did its roof collapse? What happened for it to drop?

Then you look and, I don't know, it goes up to fifty lira, forty lira.

Some people lose money, some make money— I mean, personally, I can't wrap my head around this stock market nonsense.

I think one of the biggest reasons this economy is so fucked is the stock market.

Look, Turkey should leave the stock market, hell, so should the world.

Because it's one way global powers use people.

You know, there's a logic to it. This damn coffee table.

This coffee table costs a thousand lira.

How's it going to drop to fifty lira by tomorrow morning?

It would have to burn. A roof would have to fall on it so it could be completely turned into scrap.
