Built with other peoples money!!! The guy who traded the paperclip was playing with his own assets, if he lost then its no ones fault but his own, and he loses his own assets. Stock of a company belongs to those who bought it. In purchasing shares you are given the right for the company to to build a business. If the frivolously give it away then they should be held responsible for not doing what they promised you they would.
Would you buy shares in a company who goal was to acquire a house by starting with a paperclip? Wait dont answer that.
He who smiles at lofty schemes, stems the tide of broken dreams.
