Even if it’s not worth it to you personally, it’s still a good deed to sell stock in a company when their CEO does something like this. Every sell sends a small message.
You’re just selling to some roaringkitty fanboy the actual company couldn’t care less. If you’re in a 350 you may as well hold it on the off chance something weird happens and you could break even.
Or, you can sell at a loss for the tax benefit, but that only applies if you have capital gains to use it against. So if you find one year you make some money off some other stock that would be a good time to sell the GME at a loss.
I agree that selling a $100 stock doesn’t hurt the company $100 – but it does hurt them some amount between $0 and $100 which I don’t feel qualified to calculate. The ultimate reason that stocks go down is because people sell.
After the stock is sold by the company it’s completely disconnected. No money to or from the company, no message sent. The only way it’ll hurt them is if they try another offering where they sell new shares and the stock price is low, which will be announced beforehand. Or if they want to buy them back, which probably won’t happen.
Large traders have different rules and prices than us plebs. Our trades don’t even reach the market places, they’re being internalized by brokers, who were the ones not actually selling you an actual share to begin with. They’ll be happy to take your loss without affecting market prices in the first place.
An unfair market place is what the whole diamond hands thing is about. So no, I don’t think board members care what us small investors do.
I’m not saying it’s a wash in terms of price. Instead, I’m saying it doesn’t send a message through some tally of sells for the day, because buys and sells are at a 1:1 ratio.

I assumed it’d be good for them in some way if I sold (I don’t understand stocks). If it sucks for them even a little I’m selling.

Keep the shares or sell them. GS won’t care.
I agree they won’t care about 1 stock, but the board absolutely cares if many people start selling below what they believe to be market value

A sell doesn’t happen without a buyer on the other end. It’s a wash when it comes to messaging.
it’s not a wash, because you sell for a different price than you bought at.

Oh yeah, definitely. I didn’t mean about a tally of sells.
